I loved Charismatic.

Danzig, I agree, you can't take away what he accomplished the last two decades, but now he kind of reminds me of an aging "A list" movie star trying to still play the romantic lead roles. DWL doesn't have the stock he once did (for whatever reason; I don't know any of that kind of stuff) but I feel like he's so eager to still be there in the TC races that recently he puts in horses that don't have a chance to win because it's hard to let go of when he was the top of the game. My take on it, anyway. Lord knows I'm no psychologist, for which the psychology profession should be grateful.

Not, of course, that I'm thinking of any specific aging movie stars, of course.

How's filming on "Indiana Jones 4" coming, I wonder?

Charismatic! Beautiful horse!


And Indiana Jones is supposed to start filming in June, and rumor has it Sean Connery will be in it as well. He looks a lot younger and more fit than Harrison Ford

Hee hee hee. I knew Harrison had started trying too hard when appeared on the cover of People with that brand spanking new earring in his (at the time) 50-year-old ear.

I was bummed when Charismatic was moved to Japan. Hope he does well at stud there. It's been what, two years?

It must be that young chickie he's been hangin around with. You know, that skinny girl....

Charismatic has been in Japan since 2002, according what I have read. Time for him to come home now.
