No, just pointing out how intentionally ridiculous you're being. I dunno what happened to you -- you used to be a decent poster -- but you're turning yourself into a worse troll than PG1985 in his prime. Chill out.

Actually, he used to be dreadful, but in an innocent type of way. Then he seemed to have smartened up.

Now?

Did you notice he called you Nick earlier?

He seems confused, literally.

The more I think about it, the more I think Pmay is right.

Why would his new owner even consider running his prized horse at his own racetrack?

No... Nick Tammaro responded to my post and I was responding to him.

- when I did post dumb stuff I allowed myself to be corrected. For better or worse (I know... worse), when have you ever seen me be this adamant (beside arguing for synthetic surfaces still having a relevant place in racing)? I can usually be talked off a ledge lol. I'm holding firm on this.

Haskin wrote a great article yesterday about Wise Dan. I can apply a lot of those same arguments to MMM

That article was beyond saving when he discussed great singers on American Idol. The rest of the article was just as nonsensical.

Just as you are being nonsensical with a hopelessly bad idea.

So yeah, you can indeed apply a lot of the same ideas.

I can also hop on one foot until I grow hair.

with all the rain they've had out there, this might be the one chance you get to beat him.

c'mon man... because I have alternate views on synthetic and Dubai I'm all of a sudden a crud poster? I'm at least trying to give reasons why... whether they're falling on deaf ears or not.

Tehehehehe I laughed. 1 1/4 miles on synthetic for way more $$$ isn't asking a horse to go over turf or decide to sprint for the sake of sprinting. Straight up. Lemme know right now: If they decide to do something like ship to the Met Mile next, are you guys gonna support it? He'd moving out of his comfort zone to do so...

Adena Springs has a pretty major influence in Canada with Milwaukee Brew being a Ontario-Based sire. Say Mucho Macho Man were to run in Dubai and do well over that surface- his value for Canadian Breeding where synth plays as big, if not a bigger role in their overall racing would be high. Just saying the possibilities that come with a good result there, beyond his dirt successes already, add to his value down the road.
