Shake You Down

That intimated that he was claiming him back to retire him. Now he's entered for a nickel? Horsebleep..

The horse made Cole. He's so obviously a shadow of himself, why subject him to any more racing at this point? Having banked $1.4 million, he's earned a retirement.

The good news is that the 'drivel' here is resulting in some action being taken to see that Shake You Down is purchased privately before Wednesday and given a nice home for his post racing career.

Kasept,
if you guys want to buy the horse, thats certainly your right. thats what is great about the claiming system in this country.
then you can do whatever you want with it(shoot it in the head for all I care).

but there are 2 things that I have a problem with.
1-the property rights thing that I mentioned in the first post.
2-"earned a retirement"-what the hell does that mean anyway?
if a horse wins x amount of dollars, then he gets to stop running?
so what about the horse in Puerto Rico that wins at a 80% rate but only has earned 200K b/c purses suck?
he has to keep running while a horse in the US that is still eligible for a n2x deserves retirement b/c he ran 2nd in the Delta Jackpot and has earnings of over 500K?
and who says a horse wants to stop running anyway?
how does winning make a horse deserving of isolation and boredom?
in case no one noticed, they took his nuts away.
what the hell is Shake You Down supposed to do now that is so much more fullfilling than racing?
you think hes going to the KY Horse Park for losers to go and have their picture taken with him?
not going to happen.

what a freaking nightmare.

losers on here like deepthroatwhatever taking shots at dixie.
thats like steve francis telling jason kidd how to play the point.

I think Oracle or whoever said it is right, that Cole dude had to enter him in that spot in hopes of this kind of reaction.
clever move.

i now hopes this horse breaks down immediately.

as for the whole anonymous thing, very few on here truly are. but those that are, more power to you. privacy rights are real.
Ive talked to a lot of you on instant messenger and I assume plenty of you have been to my myspace page.
what you see is what you get.

Chapter 4 in the Dr. Phil guide to idiots.
"People who refuse to accept the true feelings that they have inside them often lash out in hatred and anger. Often those who are emotionally 'in the closet' are hiding sentiments that they rail against, trying to get themselves as far away from reality as possible. They will decry that which they truly are. Common signs include crude language, deviant behavior against animals, and uncommon hero worship of delusional father figures (especially those with imaginary friends)."

Sounds like you, dude.

Proof of you being an idiot
1. Comparing Dixie to Jason Kidd
2. Thinking Cole cares about Derbt Trail
3. Wishing harm upon a horse

Without doubt, you could with 100% certainty, be considered an idiot.

and a classless one at that

I didnt suggest that Cole cares or is even aware of "Derbt Trail".

but its not unreasonable to imagine that he was hoping for someone to feel bad that SYD is running at this low of a level and, as a result, try to claim him with some publicity to follow.


and just so you know, I dont give 2 sh*ts what you consider me to be.
I dont post with the hopes that you or anyone else will appove of my words.
f*ck off dude.

I'm sure Cole's strategy of making money in the horse business has anything to do with taking advantage of sentiment and bad publicity.

Have I touched a soft spot in describing you as your words depict you? As an idiot? I guess you DO have some emotion, except as with most self-centered, racist, sexist, possibly in the closet, types it is only anger that you express.

lmao,
yeah great psychoanalysis pal.

I tell you to f*ck off so somehow I am a racist and hate women?
did you go to school for that type of insight or did you just read dr phil's latest book?

I hate simply b/c I can(and its easier than caring).
no reason behind it other than that.
keep fishing cannon sh*t.

again,
f*ck off and die.
and b/c it confused you the first time, theres no emotion there, just my honest sentiment towards you.

It is not about property rights or amount of money or accolades earned. It is about respect. Respect for the efforts and accomplishments that this horse certainly has earned.

yeah,
if you can assign that kind of emotion to a freaking animal.

I respect/disrespect a horse in terms of ability when handicapping, but that does not transfer to genuine respect away from the track.

again,
I dont get how a horse that earns x amount of money is any more deserving of boredom and isolation than a horse that has only earned .5x

For some, maybe it's like finding the mutt in the dawg pound.

Or, the lost dog on the street.

Either one in the wrong place at the wrong time, and just seeming like a good home is in order.

more power to anyone who wants to purchase him.

I just do not understand how anyone can be so sure that horse wants to be rescued from his life of racing(which is what he was born to do) so that he can be bored in a stall the rest of his life.

The above posting experts (can't call them morons) know exactly how this horse feels and exactly what he would be happiest doing. BTW, horses DON'T feel happy. Just thought I'd throw that in. Should bring some astonishing replies.

It's kinda fun and interesting to see where there are two sets of rules for those posting on here. One set applies to you and I; the other to the rest of the geniuses and trolls that are knocking their heads against a wall when they are hopelessly outclassed. Time for them to put on a helmet.

Check out the "personal attacks" that will be coming shortly. For some strange reason they do not appear on Mr. Byk's PC. BTW, for what it's worth, this is the reason Brooklynite took a powder. Did not have much respect for our host. Personally I find Byk a "good guy". I think he blew his cool yesterday when over matched.

Merry Christmas, Dixie. Since it's the season for giving, would you mind sending me last months MENSA Bulletin? That is, if you are through reading it. Thanks.

yeah,
will always be 2 sets of rules on these internet forums.
one for the ppl like you and I,
and one set for popular majority who just kiss each others' asses.

let them do what they will and call me what they choose.
hell, I guess I deserve it since Im not fortunate enough to be an equine mind reader like them.

Are senility or delusional personal attacks?
If not could you get me in with your bookie? You know the one that is going to let you bet $50000 on Ohio State +3 (Dixies special line)

When a graded stakes horse is to the point that he can only compete in a $5,000 claiming race, it almost certainly means that he has a serious injury. He probably has a tendon or suspensory. If they keep running the horse, he will probably end up getting hurt very badly and possibly breaking down and dying. That is the problem.

If you had a horse that had made you over $1 million, would you run him for $5,000 if you knew he had a serious physical problem and would be at risk of serious injury and possibly breaking down if he continues to run? I think most people would retire the horse in that situation.
