You know, I always wondered that if a little knowledge is a dangerous thing then what is no knowledge whatsoever.

Now I know.

Jessica, you do realize don't cha that you are making claims to be able to do things that the best people in the business more often than not get wrong ....watching workout videos from the 2YO in training sales might help with a small piece of a pretty big puzzle....but even the best and most experienced sets of eyes need lady luck on their side.

Also, immediate interesting kin.

Hip #198 is a half Bro to Kona Gold, By Unbridled Song, worked in 22.1
Hip #240 is a half Sis to Spun Sugar/Daaher, by Medglia d'Oro, worked in 10.2

But the book seems to be littered with very nice family.
Anyone know what was wrong with this one? Went for 100K (if not RNA).

and no I'm not a vet, it's not a profession I ever wanted to enter.
Was it at a yearling or a two year old sale that Cecil Seaman said that about?

Usually, if the horse moves nice, has a good workout, has clean x-rays, good conformation, walks sound on the day after the preview, isn't swollen or puffy the day after the preview, and doesn't have any abnormalities after feeling on their legs then the horse will usually make it to the races.

I've seen plenty of horses in my line of work change dramatically. We had a horse by Romantico that had awfully crooked legs as a foal, and they straightened out pretty nicely as he grew up without surgical intervention. Of course, he is still not nearly as straight as we would like him to be.

Cecil Seaman is good. I wish that I knew this HIP # that you were referring to because curiosity has me now.

The key is to go and view the horses after the day after the horse's have their two year old previews. I don't know why more trainers don't do this. I just remember seeing Todd Pletcher, Ron Ellis, Eion Harty, and a few more at Barrett's March Sale last year pulling out horses to view the day after the previews. If you don't do this, the consigners can hide puffy ankles or soundness issues easily by the time the horses enter the sales ring. Even less trainers actually feel on the horses legs the day after the previews, and you can nix some horses pretty quickly because you can feel things that you can't necessarily see that are abnormal but won't show up in the x-rays.

I would be curious to see what one of the trainers that feels on the horses legs and views the horses the day after the previews thought about the horse that you are referring to for that reason because I don't know if Cecil Seaman or his people do that.

Thanks for the story though. I will read up on Cecil Seaman now, and I had no idea who he was.

he's a joke to most...but also an "expert" who got fooled, because he was only looking at the picture in front of him and didn't consider how it got that way.

After reading the thread about the size of your boyfriend Wong's wang, I was somehow able to go on. This thread, however, put me over the edge.

They cross-fire while running in a straight line.

Cross-firing in horse racing terms, not show horse terms, is when a horse is on one lead in the front and a different lead in the rear while galloping.

In the Green Monkey's case, he was on his right lead up front and on his left lead behind.

In show horse terms, he call it cross-cantering.
