I just figured out who "georgewashington" is ...

... yup ... it's our old friend. This guy has had more names than a bunko artist ... and is just as full of bunk.

But hey ... he is quite lovable in his own sad way.

But thanks for keeping us informed on how artless you still are.

I am sure you know much more about me than that side of the business.

The game is about risk management in the first two years. Bernardini with is pedigree, conformation, and race record makes him what people in the business term a can't miss. Perhaps more importantly, a horse with the perfect pedigree, conformation and race record attracts the best mares.

If you could, please give me the name of a horse with Bernardini's pedigree, conformation, and race record that was a failure. I would love for you to find me one. Heck, I would love for you to find me one that has ever existed.

I don't know if he rubbed off on you or you rubbed off on him, but I have never read more comments from people that have no idea what they are talking about.

I post on 4 forums. Usually on Fridays, or before the triple crown races or breeders cup.

I actually like the board, but I think it is best when someone who really knows his stuff like Joel Cunningham is posting.

I think you mean War Emblem, who is actually just shy. Cigar was infertile.

You don't seem to know much about breeding horses or pedigrees. If I was a gambler I would listen to you.

Joel's article on Darley was right one. When I got e-mailed the link I was pretty impressed.

Pedigree Ann is very good too. There is no breeding forum here, but I enjoy reading it when I visit Belmont.

yeah, its real hard to see that Ap Indy is a good sire, I never knew that.

Wow it's shocking that he's singing the praises of Joel. Whodathunkit?

I have no agenda. He writes entire pieces not just posts. I like Steve Byk's writing too, but he doesn't post them. He puts them on the homepage.

I think you are correct, but I hope we see Bernie next year. Did you see the tribute to Tempera at the Godolphin website after her passing? It brought me to tears.

This board is getting better every day! First I had a guy telling me that he could spot "illegally enhanced" horses by looking in thier eyes. Now we have a supposedly informed poster saying that his informed friends are predicting track records!!!

We like to think that we as a species has become a little more civilized over the last 250 years

I love you people that like to complain about their culture, but then when it comes to knocking down the price of your gas you can look the other way. Spare me the hypocrisy.

So we should boycott gas? Or only buy "american gas"? How do you get around? a bike?

Well said!

Two track records!!! And who in the KY breeding business will be happy to see that except the people at Darley?

This may be the most ill-informed post yet! (I'd say stupid but I dont want an $11 million dollar lawsuit) Breeding only exists because of racing, not vice versa. You are comparing tax revenues from the sale of horses to the gambling industry??? The revenues from gambling are often nothing??? Do you think that non profits like Del Mar and Keeneland just keep all the money? I can hardly type.....
