sumitas, how do you reconcile your first post with your second? if you feel that there are too many horses, how does breeding more yourself help the issue? especially when you concede he's not viable as a racehorse, and is just one more to be tossed into a rather niche market, show horses.

He is viable as a race horse . He'd be a super horse .

I would not allow those slimy pinhookers to get their grubby paws on him, that's all. I'm pointing him in another direction because horse racing runs horses into the ground and sends them to slaughter .

I'm not breeding any more horses . The sport of horse racing is infested with countless useless barbarians only interested in themselves and profit at any cost .

A 'this is my last post' type of deal?

Somebody clearly left the gate unlocked.

you sound like a peta member. I wish one of these barbarians or shiek mohammed would buy my Detroit Football Lions and restore the roar once and for all!!! We have a 17-0 lead before quarter one is even finished and the circus comes to town.

INT. fumble. INT. fumble. poor tackling. blown coverage. inept qb play. swiss cheese defense. what are they gonna try and do next? get Trent Dilfer out of retirement to play qb? if they are serious about restoring the roar. they will get this fabulous rookie qb playing in New England Cassell. 2 four hundred yard passing games in a row!!!! the stinking Lions break ur heart everytime.

well he backed up two stinky nfl bench warmers in college and has warmed the nfl benches. poor guy has had to sit through boring meetings and take five snaps of practice a week since high school. I hope we get him. Tom Brady has never had back 2 back 400 yard passing games. I still say we should have drafted Brady Quinn though.

and both of those 'stinky nfl bench warmers' are John Elway compared to the trash that DET runs out at that position.

Why is there a direct link to Finger Lakes Racetrack on his web site if you despise it so much?

Was this his idea, by chance?

Everything's written in first person, from the horses perspective, and given your history here, I'm assuming that the horse talks to you and tells you his thoughts to enter on the web site for him...

Does your horsey hate racing as much as you?

What does Detroit have to do to lose the Thanksgiving day game? It is always terrible.

there's a saying that you're either part of the problem, or part of the solution. if you thought there were already too many unwanted horses, why did you breed horses? if you don't want him to end up in the wrong hands, wouldn't the best thing be to keep him? besides, if he was viable as a racer, i don't see why you'd send him to be a show horse--they can be just as mistreated as racers. and i'd imagine there are too many of them already as well....

He is much better than viable . He is a dominating horse . We're going the show route where he will excel . And we're going directly there instead of a re-train after racing . Get used to it . A lot of people are disgusted by horse racing .

My horse could have won the triple crown but I decided to stay home and feed him hedge apples instead.

sumitas you are a bizarre person. and you are posting at a truly delusional level....but your bullsh*t is mildly amusing. I hope you don't believe a word you write....and realize that if your horse were to go to races I would wager that after about 4 starts in as many weeks trying to break his maiden in 5 claimers he would be on the first truck to the new holland sale...and frankly, good riddance. It would serve you right for being part of the overall problem...breeding sh*t to sh*t and hoping it turns into gold.

having said that, be sure to let us know what his name is so we can look for him at the world eq games in a couple of years...you might not have heard of it because it's being held in KENTUCKY.

i'm always suspicious of a "sport" that requires supposed independent judging. i like finish lines.
VERY much so. I feel the same way about judging vs. finish lines.
