If you supposedly knew this then why didn't you call up Coolmore and tell them before they got involved??? Oh yeah, because you're wrong.
I'm not wrong. Ask The Bid or Cannon Shell. I'm sure they know.

Whoever you are talking to, does not know what they are talking about.

The horse is on one lead up front, and a different lead behind.

Why would I care about saving Coolmore any money?

Well, he was a beautiful mover up front, and worked fast, but I would steer clear of a horse that cross-fires all the way down the stretch or switches leads like crazy down the stretch.

You dont expect a horse to be green whatsoever when you evaluate unraced 2yolds?

It's not often you get an opportunity to learn from the leading expert in any field.

That would almost be too much knowledge.

Frederico Tesio is probably pissed he didn't live long enough.

Some of it is can be a horse being green. However, I don't view it as green when the horse cross-fires all the way down the stretch.

I view it as either a lack of balance and athleticism or the horse is dealing with unsoundness of some kind when they do it the entire length of the stretch as it is uncomfortable for a balanced horse to cross-fire a long way. If you follow the horses that cross-fire all the way down the stretch from the sales to the races, even if they have a good work out and move nice up front, you will see why I came to this conclusion.

If they cross-fire a little way down the stretch, and then switch to the correct lead, I don't knock the horse off the list because I view it as being green if they move nice off the right lead.

If they switch back and forth multiple times down the stretch in the workout, they are often unsound and do the exact same thing in their races if they make it to the races.

If they don't switch to their right lead at all like they are supposed to, they often don't switch in their races if they make it to the races.

Many of the consignors work the **** out of these horses before the sales too, so most of the horses should know how to switch leads correctly.

lmao

i just want to thank everyone involved with this thread for some really, really good laughs. i came home for lunch, and the hilarity had already started--and has grown in leaps and bounds since forcing myself away to go back to work.

by all means, continue....
