To put her in the same bucket as Zippy Chippy is just deplorable. I know you're trying to be funny, but you fell way short on this one.........

Here's a matchup I've often (not really) wondered about.

In a fairly run race, who's the better one?

Point Given

or

Da Hoss?

There are people on this board who would probably rate KK a 4. Never heard of the other one .... but I'd assume she's hotter than Vida Blue.

What's wrong with some of you people? If you're going to post names of hotties I don't know ... always have a pic.

How about we look at the sprinters.

I'll throw four names out there and hope to get some conversation.

Chinook Pass, Phone Trick, Kona Gold, and Groovy.

And how about the girls......

Gold Beauty, Very Subtle, Safely Kept, and Xtra Heat


Just for fun!

Yeah, I doubt anyone on the east coast knows anything about Chinook Pass.

I remember when Phone Trick was making his second start. My friend was jonesing so bad to see him run he walked out on the first day of his job, serving ice cream at Thrifty's, so he could bet him at like 4/5.

What a great horse that was. It's a shame they never routed him.

What a great horse that was. It's a shame they never routed him.

And he actually made a few nice contributions in the shed as well. He sired winners of both Breeders Cup Juvenile races, Favorite Trick and Phone Chatter. Favorite Trick, of course, was a HOTY at 2. He sired Mazel Trick, who ran a sub-1:20 7 furlongs in the Triple Bend at Hollywood Park.

And Caller One. It's not easy for a sprinter to accumulate over $3M in a career, and of course, 2 wins in the Golden Shaheen in Dubai certainly doesn't hurt, but this guy was one serious sprinter. If he could have raced on a 6 furlong straightaway every time, which is what you get in Dubai, he may never have been beaten.

I might be wrong, because Phone Trick came on the scene in the very early years of my career in the game, but wasn't he Richard Mandella's first BIG horse?
