Personally I would love to see more thoroughbreds go back to what they were meant to do; run long distances!

Then, perhaps, we should just set them all free in the wild west.

That's dumb.

Maybe you like your sprint races, but the fact that we no longer have horses with the ability to have speed & stamina over a course of ground is just pathetic. The turf horse have maintained this ability for the most part while the American dirt horse hasn't.

I was joking with the wording of your post not the intentions.

I prefer turf racing to dirt for betting and think the entire industry is its own worst enemy. Thus, in essense, I am for anything they currently are NOT doing.

Pretty sad isn't it? We could all sit here and post all day about the changes that need to be made, but does it all fall on deaf ears of the powers to be? I guess when one has money to make at the moment they don't feel a need to look ahead?

Well, as long as they continue to just ignore the real problem, performance enhancing drugs, what the hell is the difference what they do.

Honestly, I am getting to the point where I don't blame people for cheating, you can't be competitive if you don't and the powers that be basically endorse it with some of the stallions that fetch big money.

Of course I myself(unlike others on this "joking thread") have never put out on other message boards the support for just that.
I really don't see anything funny about someone who has taken public stances against the safety of the US, either here or elsewhere.

Hes so easy to bait with that hairtrigger temper.
One time I told him that someone had made fun of him as a joke, just to get his blood pressure up. before I could tell him I was only kidding, he had posted to the guy(who had absolutely no idea why he was saying this!!LOL!!) that he was gonna find him and tear him apart.

Well Dala.. His matinees are one thing: you may want to wait for the evening performances before declaring yourself a fan..
