War Pass out with fracture

Since I am relatively new here, why does this seemed to have touched a nerve here? It seems to me most of Trainer's mentioned here have had some sort of criticism aimed at them, but none of this depth of reaction...

whodey, Eurobounce, whatever you want to call him, is a fervent Zito basher and takes every opportunity to make sure everyone knows this.

That being said, THIS makes things interesting two weeks from today...

There are a few subjects that - for whatever reason - inspire incredibly heated debate here. Off the top of my head this list includes:

1) Lost in the Fog
2) Polytrack
3) Perfect Drift
4) Nick Zito
5) Bernardini

There are probably more that I am forgetting, but basically these subjects generate big arguments because there are certain individuals here that have very strong opinions either for or against these topics. Once they stake out their extreme positions, other people argue strenuously with them. In the case of Zito, it is basically just whodey taking every conceivable opportunity to take a shot at Zito. Add in the fact that Zito has some staunch supporters (and in some cases, friends) on this board, and you have yourself a recipe for acrimony.

Think of this: LaPenta and Lane's End give the horse time off, and then bring him back into training late fall/winter. Bring to racing a fantastic 4-year-old miler, on a campaign to the Breeders Cup in the fall ...

Oh, now I am seeing pretty white unicorns. And poppies ...

Funny Cide, Sheik Mo and favorite racecaller probably deserve a spot on your list. they consistently draw a crowd.

Is that all... Not much left to talk about after that, guess I'll go to bed. Thanks for updating me though on these "taboo" subjects here. I wouldn't want to offend anyone. BTW Isn't this supposed to be a discussion forum? What's the point of coming here if certain subjects are off limits.

They're hardly 'off limits'.. It's just funny how those topics create mayhem.

What we really need are more posts and threads about what a lousy trainer Chuck Simon is. I mean, honestly, does he ever have a winner?

he said those subjects inspire heated debate, as in discussion. not that they are taboo or off limits. indeed those are some of the most discussed and debated subjects.

As Steve and Jim already said, it isn't about topics being off-limits. I wasn't trying to give you a list of topics that shouldn't be discussed. I was just giving you a list of topics that - when they do come up - are sure to lead to discussions that tend to be lengthy and lively.

So, if Lost in the Fog, Bernardini and Perfect Drift were all trained by Nick Zito, who would win if they ran on polytrack?

Funny Cide would romp - and the lead owners daughter would celebrate by doing a line off of Jose's body.
