Why Super Frolic matters

Might be a new track but not going to stay "irrelevant" when they give out almost 1 million in purse money on one day. Also it was televised on TVG, and the masters 2 races later was on ESPN, hard to miss what happened. So yes, most knew Super Frolic had been pulled up.

By seeing the amount of chatter on the forums, he had a lot of fans that are going to miss him.
Like the others said, if you don't like the thread don't read it.

Note my location. Sorry Super Frolic wasn't headline news here. Dinner, perhaps, but not news, so excuse me if I missed it.

As I said, I hate to see horses break down. I do like animals and love horses. I am just well aware of the realities of the sport.

No I didn't see your location, so yes I can see why it wouldn't be news there. But you jumped the gun on your facts, and this is a U.S. based board.

I do somewhat see your point and I MORE than know the realities of this sport, some of us get attached, why it upsets people I really don't understand.
I like many horses from 5k claimers to the most famous. I feel bad every time one is lost.

Someone posted in Angels Lost in the Fog died a year ago, so people do remember and do miss them.

Probably this discussion belongs in Angels, but it ended up here. Ignore it or read it.

I'm glad someone does an Angels thread and retirements, from time to time I can go see what happened to a horse I haven't heard of in a while. Those threads often have the answers.

Jumping someone for taking the time to do that I don't see the point, or I dont see why it would bother anyone.

I'm as much of a hardcore handicapper as anybody; I had no idea that horse broke down. And yes, I don't care how much monopoly money they run for, it is an outpost in Bubblef-k, PA.

Maybe if he had been running on REAL dirt it wouldn't have happened.
