question for you....do you ride?

transitioning a "tired" animal from a hard surface onto a deep "cushioned" surface is about one of the worst ideas I can think of....when you are on a horse and all of a sudden they get into a deep part of the ring or track or trail or whatever place you are riding they have to work A LOT harder to get through it....in fact the first thing most of them do is trip up in front due to suddenly having to pick up their feet more....i've had a horse go down under me in a similar situation, I was lucky neither of us were seriously hurt.

not what I would consider an ideal situation....in fact one of the more dangerous ideas I have heard.

Well what if he's been ridden? We might have to ask Golden Missile. Maybe he'll spill the beans on what happened that sweet, sweet afternoon so long ago.

Is this about the time Golden Missile chose on his own to wear blinkers?

I just got off the phone with GM and he said sumitas is yesterday's news. He said it took awhile to get over him, butt he found a new power bottom that puts him to shame.
