Surely you remember this horse. He was slower than the kid who grew up next to the power plant.

I was alluding to making fun of " special kids ".

I actually don't remember that horse off-hand.

I actually have a heartbreaking tale of interaction with someone "special" today that would make anyone here feel guilty as hell about complaining about any of the things that we complain about on a daily basis. Probably the saddest thing I ever saw in person. Still has me shaken, so maybe thats why it was in my head when I made that allusion.

Midget girlfriend. lol. I think we prefer "petite" now. Although, the occasional toss is still HOT.

Here's my take. You never know what you're going to get with this horse on the track. He was everything but consistent. Yes, there were flashes of talent and brilliance, but you were just as likely to see him finish poor. I'd imagine, they're trying to salvage what is already a somewhat poor race record number-wise, and try to capitalize on the big wins on the record and the mindset of Bernadini on the same cross.

If he were to run 2 more times and be unplaced, that will be remembered more in the spring than his big wins almost a year before that. They can probably get a full book to him at 15k, but if he ran up the track in his next two starts, they probably couldnt ask for more than 10k. I think its a smart, if not safe business move on the part of his connections.

With that said, I wouldnt breed to him even if I was as kinky as Joel.

It's definitely a safe business decision, but I'm not so sure about smart.

BTW, lol, I assume the Archie part was a tribute to Archie Bunker.
I grew up about 80 miles above NYC and it was a real melting pot. We were telling ethnic jokes at like age 8 taking shots at one another.
You had your EYE-talians, your polacks, etc. It was a brutal crowd where you had to develop thick skin before you left grade school.
