Using a horse that is basically a freak to back up your side of the argument really strengths your case.

I just used him because he's the consensus #1 ranked turf horse right now - and he's a grey who has one grey parent and one non-grey parent.

Like I said - we could go on for hundreds of pages with this.

I'd just like a link with an explanation and evidence.

You would like a link?

Unlike you, I actually learn a lot from talking to educated people at the racetrack. I know you're only like thirteen, and don't understand the world outside of the internet, but most people don't talk in links.

There are a lot of different theories, many without links even, and there is usually a differing amount of validity to them, but just because you ( or I ) don't necessarily agree with them doesn't make them compltely discountable.

You would like a link. Funny stuff.

Stick up your nose and go to the off-topic smack card all you want.

I just want to hear a rational case made for what you said.

The original comment was about a horse sired by El Prado.

None of El Prado's best offspring (Artie Schiller, Kitten's Joy, Medeglia D' Oro, and Borrego) were grey.

However, his millionaire son Chindi was a grey with identical color.

Chindi was 77-18-13-23 lifetime on the dirt - with earnings of over 998K.

He ran 4 times on turf - and never once hit the board.

Discreet Treasure is bred for turf on top and bottom - and is very much likely to be a better turf horse. However, I just don't believe that has anything to do with his sires skin color.

I think the horse beat a horrendous field. He had a long break in has published works, his fastest work was in Jan in fla. then they had to stop and got him going again 5 months later. Perhaps that will be the issue that makes him a bet against. He is a real large colt and very good looking, the whole family from the mare has been good with of course the brilliant Discreet Cat and the early ok half sisters have since been bred and produced immediately. Apparently the colt has a lot going for him. I believe that the idea that all trainers only start them on turf if they are slow is a bit over rated some trainers think its a better way to introduce young horses to the sport then the main track. A half to Disreet Cat who the owner grabbed 5 mil for after a main track romp didn't make a bunch of sense debutting on grass.

Well the horse already has any appointment with mares in the future. He is only racing now to see which ones he will be attending to in a 18 months the special ones or the ones could have been special.
