I think she probably meant to say Gigawatt instead of Gygistar.
Gygistar and Raven's Pass aren't actually even related, so it was probably just a typo on her part.

However, I'm not sure the argument has a lot more validity with Gigawatt.

You're right....about all of it. Though, Fearless Leader may disagree.

That was a classic hit-and-run post. Not only do we get the obligatory pedantic mutterings, but the whole basis of it lies on a glaring botch of bloodlines from someone with the word "Pedigree" in their screenname.

The best part for me, however, has to be the justification for Henrythenavigator's early retirement from racing:

Henry's advantage earlier in the year may have been due to earlier maturity and he may not get any better than he has been this year

Yeah. Cuz no one is interested in seeing him run again if he can't top his 4-time Group 1-winning campaign. Don't need him around.

Completely irresponsible, yet the board is all the better for it.

Hey, I was off in the Canary Islands doing it from memory. Gygistar and Gigawatt have a lot of "g"s in them and the same number of sylables, after all. Like when I meant Itsallinthechase and typed Itsallgreektome (they start the same). You'll be middle-aged sometime, too, you know, and your memory won't work as well as it did when you were 25, either.

You were in the Canary Islands?????????????????????

Me too!!!!!! Why didn't you let me know?

Gigahertz was always one of my personal favorites. That little mare sure closed like a freight train.

My all-time favorite horse was Gigantically Perfect though. I'll never forget his duel in the desert with Medaglia d'Oro in the stretch at Dubai.

Not so fast. How do we know that this isn't a typo too?

I think what you meant to say was that you were "down in Solitary Confinement talking to yourself in the dark."

Can you still get a Mojito in there?

So true. Like "gangbang" and "bingo night". Be careful what you show up for...

Like when I meant Itsallinthechase and typed Itsallgreektome (they start the same).

Yeah, like when I got paroled and was supposed to go door to door telling my neighbors I was a pederast and accidentally told everyone I was a pediatrician.

Maybe you should start from behind and work your way to the front, like me.

Wait...that didn't come out right...

You'll be middle-aged sometime, too, you know, and your memory won't work as well as it did when you were 25, either.

Relax. It's not like you have Alzheimer's like Lou Gehrig did.

Forget it.

While Rollo's post seemed a bit harsh, this line was so damn funny, it made the whole thing worth it:

"So true. Like "gangbang" and "bingo night". Be careful what you show up for..."

Like Hossy said, I laughed.
