Plonk article very good read

Thank you for the link. I recall Massoud, his last was the first race of the 07 Spa meet. The crowd had quickly dispersed after the race. Myself and one other person way down the rail watched as Massoud, his dignified profile visible through the van windows was trucked to his fate.

Did you cry like a little girl?

one wonders why Massoud is brought up since it is not part of the article by Plonk. I guess its kinda the same way the article on War Emblem recalled the fond memories of Golden Missile.

I'm sure Sumitas forgot that Massoud broke down on the turf and was trying to get in yet another pro-polytrack jab.

i thought it was turf, but didn't say anything because I wasnt sure. I knew that someone else would catch it if it were.

even more curious then why Massoud was brought up, completely off the mark once again.

It wouldn't be Sumitas if it wasn't off the mark.

You know, for the caterwailing out there on how awful dirt is for horses, I'd suggest many of these same people head to the steeplechase sometime. Turf can do a horse harm just as easily as dirt.
