If you remember well, Joel punked Oracle big time in regards to Scat Daddy and his career. Multiple Grade G1 winner at 2 and 3.

Look I cashed a 2k pick 4 at Toga in part due to Mike Smith's ride in the final race last summer at Toga. That doesn't mean he's a great rider. The fact of the matter is i've had this god damn avatar for three weeks and all I asked for was 3 wins to take it down.

but as for scat daddys stud fee, i'd think 25k. friends lake won the fla derby, and is currently 15k. of course sd won more than just that race, so he'd be more--but i don't know he'd be as high as first samurai, going by both of their sires....

but then, stonewall would probably start him at 60--so who knows?

Hoss, he definitely wasn't the fastest T-Bred, but he found the winner's circle on numerous ocassions. His racing record must be respected.

Hurt in the Derby and 4th in the Juvy. Not all that bad IMO.

How could you dislike a face like this?

The chestnut he's 'talking' with is really cute, too.

Eh... 15 lengths or so? LOL

In his defense, Street Sense blew by everyone, not just him.

Bottom line he won G1's at 2 and 3, which you can't say about Jazil or Bluegrass Cat. In this day in age, he deserved to be respected for that alone. I understand that you were not a fan, but to dismiss his accomplishments is a mistake.
