It's nonsense and BS. It is not a fact. You can know specific companies all you want. First, I said "every" -- you said "some" and as I am sure you would agree, monster difference there. Second, this...

By the way, I am not going to open a Pandora's box here in this type of forum, however, this is not anywhere near as simple as owners holding trainers accountable by questioning trainers, and vets,...

I guess one might wonder how many of those mares were actually went to Lane's End to be bred? DWL has always been an easy "target" as well. Who really knows the truth, although in this business,...

Smart man, LOL. Anyway, from what's been said (by Dutrow himself) is that the horse runs down behind and wore the fronts strictly for protection -- I think the comment was something along the line(s)...

There are other reasons horses wear front wraps. Of course, I am not saying there are other reasons here in this case. However, I'd look to Chuck Simon to answer the question and talk about...

No, all don't have to be one or the other. My own opinion aside, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I enjoy reading all of them. However, be that as it may, I completely disagree with you...

The naysayers, even if Big Brown wins the Triple Crown, will still continue to say he's overrated. He could win the Belmont by a margain equal to Secretariat, and some, perhaps many, will still call...

I agree. However, I also see it slightly different. When Nafzger was asked about the Belmont, I think, in part, he was still somewhat disappointed that they got beat in MD. Maybe it wasn't the most...

No offense, but I think it's a foolish discussion. The only common element is that they would both be TC winners. If he retires -- no. If he goes on, we'll see. Today? No, I don't think the...

I completely understand your point, and I agree. However, I am also very clear on and aware of reality. Rather than debate who is and how a sportsmen would act, what I see is a very quick trigger...

It doesn't really matter what the public wants or demands. That's a debate for another time, but as far as reality, it doesn't matter -- not to the owner or the farm. As far as a legacy, it will only...

Did Robby say "Casino Drive" as well? LOL. Listen, if this colt steps up -- and he needs to big time -- and beats Big Brown, so be it. Anybody can beat anybody on any given day, and in a race as...

I won't debate the Preakness aspect itself, but with Funny Cide -- he was becoming sharper and sharper, and more unmanagable as they got closer to the Belmont. His final work before the Belmont was...

Just a little? I don't know, are you sure? LOL. Ali v. Marciano, Ali v. Tyson, Tiger v. Palmer, Tiger v. Nicklaus, and so on.

I agree. I've thought Curlin had incredible talent from day one. My point is that Curlin might still be getting better. I don't think we've seen it all yet, and of course Big Brown has to step up --...

We will see. I wouldn't be surprised if Curlin doesn't go -- 1000% however not due to ducking anyone. I agree, he has taken on all comers and will. Same label though -- a trainer who is an easy...

Apparently, you are not in the majority. I would think far more people dislike the connections than the horse. It gets collapsed though. People start rooting against the horse, although they don't...

It won't happen. If Big Brown goes through to the end of the season -- Curlin will not defend his BC Classic title. It's possible, as opposed to probable. However, if so, Jackson and Assmusen will...

That, the owners are jerks, have no class, are not sportsmen, and so on. Dutrow is a jerk as well, but also cheater, a drug addict -- perhaps reformed, and so on. There will always be plenty of...

It doesn't matter, for numerous reasons. First, many people will not look past the trainer. They never will. Dutrow attracts criticism. He also attracts animosity, and it seems outright hatred. There...
