Swap Flip,
That's exactly what makes this all so much fun.
Nobody is going to laugh at you.
All of us put out "hopeless" picks.
And then, there are "real cappers" on this board that share P4's, P6's, and too many winners to even think about. Not me by any stretch....once in a while I get "lucky".

If you want to see a nice one that H Allen Jerkens and his connections (Hobeau Farm) stands at High Cliff Farm, go to nybreds.com and click on their link (blue) on the right side. The stallion's name is Kelly Kip.
I have a filly by Stanislavsky and a mare in foal to Best of Luck.

H Allen Jerkens is in the Hall of Fame, and rightly so. I have a lot of respect for his ability to train and breed, year after year. He is a "true" horseman".

Just have fun with this "crazy game".
Hope you continue to post here.
There are some people here that can teach you a lot.
They've taught me too.

Ah, I've heard of Kelly Kip, though I admit I'm a bit rusty on his trivia. Best of Luck is a good-looking sucker from what I can recall...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, I will check back in more often! And yes, Jerkins certainly keeps pulling off one more upset when I keep thinking his best work is over and done...
