I didn't want my friend to bring that back up. He was asking if I knew about conformation, and wanted me to teach him a little bit about it as he will be investing in some race horses very shortly. So I showed him that post and we looked at some of her videos of her races. I had no idea that he was going to actually reply to the post. In fact, I was glad that no one said anything about it then...well, until now. I was very sorry that I was right on that one.

Alright now, we gotta settle down here. I don't want to be party to hammering this young person's dreams.

Still, I have to keep in mind that this is part on the online experience, . . . in other words, I couldn't make this S**T up.

Entertainment and all, this it is.

I'm not trying to bust her dreams... it's just that things are very different in the racing industry. I have a background in show jumpers, and while I know a few things in regards to that discipline, the same rules don't always apply to racing. A successful race horse doesn't have to win any conformation contests if he/she can run fast and get the job done, you know? I definitely look at conformation (sometimes to the dismay of others, lol), but I think I've finally learned my lesson that how a horse looks in the paddock and in the warm-up isn't always going to be a preview of how they're going to race.

I'd send her a myspace friend request but i'm just too shy. Her friends are intimidating.

Ever seen a photo of Kelso? A ewe-neck is only one of his 'faults'. Dr. Fager, it is said, paddled like a duck. His Felinity, Cougar II, didn't stretch out when he hit full stride - his head was held high and his knees came up like a trotter breaking stride. Lots of horses had better action, better conformation, but these horses ran faster and (believe it or not) sounder than most of them.

How are you all hammering my dreams? I'm going to college to be a cardiologist, own a very nice horse, and hang out with some of the biggest names in Thoroughbred racing. I'm already in the middle of everything in the industry living the good life. In other words, I was being very facetious in my previous post...

I could be wrong, but " very facetious " might be a lot like " very unique ".

Regardless, thanks for clearing that up for all of us morons on the site. We were all confused for a second that you weren't ridiculously full of yourself.

Don't you go to a junior college?

Yep, getting ready to graduate and transfer. I'll continue to work at the college for the summer. Then I'll get the BS in Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill and then on to med school from there. I've got 10 more years to go, but it will all pay off. Following in my dad's footsteps...

I wouldn't include your work on this board on your resume.
