LOL even harder @ sending her to the Classic, or any BC race for that matter. Who gives a crap about the BC anymore, much less the BC run over tires? It's a total crapshoot on synthetic, and frankly, she's too good for it.

Obviously, Khan can do whatever he wants with her, but in an era with so few truly special horses, it would be pretty lame to retire her after seven starts. If she were mine, and I didn't need the money, I think I'd feel like it was my duty to showcase her brilliance.

Why doesn't she have anything left to prove? There aren't other prestigous races that she could win? Has she really done it all? How do we know that there won't be any competition for her next year?
How are you supposed to address this guy? Mr. Khan? Hey Aga? Mr. Aga Khan? AK?

BTW The Aga Khan actually has many foundations geared for the disadvantaged around the world, I would say he is one of the good guys from that area of the world.

I would take a strong stand against her if by some miracle she were to run in the Classic. Dancing Brave revisited.

You know she would lose 150 pounds and flip out in California?

Oh, I forgot, Six Perfections did.

Like this..


Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, 'cause I feel for you
Chaka Khan, won't you tell me what you wanna do
Do you feel for me the way I feel for you
Chaka Khan, let me tell you what I wanna do
I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too
Let me take you in my arms
Let me fill you with my charms, Chaka
Cuz you know that I'm the one to keep you warm, Chaka
I'll make it more than just a physical dream
I wanna rock you, Chaka baby, cuz you make me wanna scream
Let me rock you -- rock you
