A cough. LOL. You have to love the bullshit in the game! Just like Point Given stubbed his toe while getting on a plane after his Travers win, shipping back to California. Riiiight. They were really disappointed they couldnt keep him in training and racing instead of whisking off to the shed. I think he started having babies just weeks after his "toe stubbing.". LOL! He did enough.

Why would they lie? What is there to hide with Macho Uno? Why would anyone care?

Macho Uno was a fine horse.

If you have a filly you planned to keep or a gelding there would be no reason at all to lie.

If you have some overrated Grade 1 winning nag who's made almost $2 million - I think it's pretty dumb to do something that would remind anyone that he sucks on synthetic and turf. They overpay for stallions like him.

It is a real reach to think that WP decided that it was risking MA's stallion reputation by running in the Classic and needing to find an easy way out. Primarily because he has little real credentials to be a stallion that would be desired for anything but a regional market. Regional markets dont pay big bucks for stallions. he can make more money with suck up second and thirds than he can as a stallion.

Any smart person in there place should lie and not run.

Any foolish person in there place should run assuming the horse is fine.

Any dumb person in there place would say they aren't running because the horse has proven repeatedly that he can't beat anything on the surface.


The chances of them being dumb have been ruled out.

Either they are very smart - or a well timed cough made them look smart.


Any smart person who has a Grade 1 winning 4yo colt with almost $2 million in earnings and a 2nd place finish in the Preakness, Whitney, and Woodward on his resume ... should NEVER say anything about a horse that would make him seem like he can't do something.


Take this picture for instance ....




A.) I sure as hell DO NOT own that car.

B.) I sure as hell DO NOT know how to fix anything


I've got all kinds of clever action photos of me doing stuff I can't do ... in one of the cooler ones I'm welding and fire is shooting up.

It's my little brothers job to take them and distribute them to all of the horny 18-to-20 year old girls that like him and his band... and it's kind of worked swimmingly thrice so far.

Basically, I'm Macho Again ... my little bro's a smart handler of me ... and 19 year old girls are the people who overpay for Pioneer of the Nile.

Saying... "we are not running MA in the Breeders Cup because he's performed very poorly on synthetic and turf" .... is just like saying

"You really should hook up with my older brother. He's real good at gambling and is always on the computer. He pretty much sucks at everything else."

That electric screwdriver (at least it looks like one) you have laying there tells it all.

Hey, why not include some sewing needles in the photo?

I was once on a first date with a guy and he offerred to sew a button on for me that fell off my jacket. I thought it was the gayest thing ever.

It's an attempt at a clever mis-direction of the female populace... not the male one.

My little bro's band opened for Alice Cooper a few weeks ago.
