You think I'm out of line when I mention personally witnessing Pletcher shamelessly yell out foul language in front of several of Churchill Down's Derby customers, but I now have 'thin skin' when you choose to take a thread about our differences in horse racing and add personal busts in it such as mentioning my father and our rat La-breds, and deforming me based on probable fabricated information about me that you supposedly heard from mutual acquaintances???

No...I think you were out of line...opinions are to debate, but instead you view things as arguments to be won....you have to remember that nobody is right or wrong here and there are no winners or losers..it is absolutely childish and imaginary to think otherwise...that is why opinions are so great because they are not fact...what don't you grasp about that?

If you don't like my opinions on things then state why you don't believe in them, but don't tell me that I am daddy's little spoiled brat who has a ratty La-bred operation and don't tell me that you found out about me and I'm a bad and horrible person...that is adding a personal element that you have zero business in doing...you have no idea who I am and I have nothing to be ashamed of, hence why I'm not scared to reveal my identity in this forum although this site could only hurt me and not help me professionally..

I am proud of our racing operation just like Sakatoga is proud of their operation...sure I'd love to own Funny Cide and so would've Frankel and Juddmonte..who wouldn't want to own a horse that made seven figures? My job as an analyst is to judge the highest level of racing because that is where the sport's dynamic lies....that has nothing to do with the horses my dad and I can afford...I know they are relatively slow in the big scheme of things...I also know that Funny Cide is slow when talking about the top handicap horses...you have totally misread me...

The best thing that I can probably do is avoid your posts from now on...if that is the only way to keep this negative, counterproductive energy and waste of time to a minimum then so be it....I would hope that we wouldn't have to go to those measures...if you disagree with me then that is fine..chime in with your opinion, but don't attack me...there is nothing worse than a guying acting tough behind a key board...

Have a nice day.

Yeah I agree, a guy acting tough behind a keyboard pretty much sums up a guy who bashes a horse for weeks, says very CLEARLY that the horse will never win another graded stakes race, and then fails to have the guts to just say he goofed instead of making excuses and asking folks to cry him a river because he goofed. Good luck, you will need it.

Nah I'm done DTS. One thing about me is that I will always say when I am wrong and when I goofed. I admire the same thing in others. Obviously he and I share different values.

I was just funning Mike. As I said earlier in this thread, it was big of you to extend your hand (not exact words).

In regards to my taking the threads down, I did not care for the tone or example they set for anyone coming here for the first time. The Private Messenger system can be used for those kinds of personal exchanges. I don't have the patience to remove just the messages I find ill-advised and mean-spirited, so threads will come down instead. There were three whose tones echoed both the above.

I know both parties well, and doubt either really wanted those statements left hanging in the air. Strictly my call, and I hope all Trailers understand the position I have to take... My name is attached to this website; I am a co-host of a daily national horseracing radio show; I am a partner in a business that works with MEC, CDI and NYRA and I am charged with administering a decorum here obliged to meet a minimum standard to which I can answer.. I'm sure everyone can understand that...
