What the f u c k is Yard-Arm (SAF) doing in this race?

I'm telling you folks, he is a complete badass. Look him up on pedigree query and don't forget to use the hyphen. He was SAF horse of the year and won everything.

I'll be firing with the hand of god at this one because he outclasses everyone in there.

Only concern is the layoff, I guess the Arabs bought him from De Kock's connections and brought him over. I didn't even know he was here. This might be a chance to make some big money.

The public seems to agree, but Willard Straight will win the race.

Why the fascination with international runners and eurpean racing on this board? Is it just fashionable to follow Euro racing?

To me its a huge bore, but hey whatever blows your hair back.

I guess this along with pedigree are the "in things" to follow and talk about.

Me, I am just as happy with a 25 claiming race any day.

Agree 100%, well except the claiming part, but the "pedigree" and as Bold Brooklynite puts it "pretty horsey people" bore me to tears.

There was a SAF G1 winner that won at River Downs in a $20K claimer back in May(Thanks Jballscalls), maybe this horse would be more suited for that kind of competition...

It's just that some of us have a weakness for it... that's all.

Agree on the pedigree thing though.....

I don't much give a crap about pedigree analysis. I just like good horses, and Yard-Arm is a good one.

I also work in international racing, and when I recognize one that is over here I tend to bet them.

You should have followed that SAF G1 Winner at River Downs, he jogged and won at 10-1...
