No. I am in NY for a wedding. Little brother is at the library. I guess people don't like it when they get corrected when posting things they know nothing about.

The original poster said he knew George Washington was coming for the BC Mile. It is possible, but no decision has been made. His post was incorrect. I guess people can post anything on these boards and nobody questions them. I was amused by his 74% number, proving my point.

I dont believe the orginal poster - which is me - ever said GW is 100% for the Mile. I think the original poster - which is me - said words like IT APPEARS and APPARENTLY--now if those two words mean 100% then I need a new dictionary. Here is the original post.

Well it appears that the BC Mile is now over. I believe GW is going to go in the mile. He will destroy this field with great ease. What is great about this move is that it may set-up a showdown between Gorella and Ouija Board in the Filly and Mare Turf. Boy what a great race that is going to be. I would lean towards OB because of who she has been up against, but Gorella is where my heart is. But keep in mind that they both have to catch Wait A While--remember Intercontinental last year. Maybe we will see a repeat performace by Wait A While.

You are making your beliefs based on what? Pulling them out of the air? Let me also tell you no decision has been made on Oujia Board. The softness of the BC Turf has them interested. Lastly, Gorella is still possible for the mile.

I'm looking for the original poster who said he "knew" GW was coming.

The original poster on this thread said "I believe" that GW is coming. That was not an incorrect post. AO himself said on Saturday after the race that the mile was very likely.

It looks to me like you may be the one just throwing up anything.

Sorry. I am used to reading a board where people have to stick to facts. Not pull things out of the air. This is the "National Enquirer" of horse racing message boards. Now I see why my brother posts here.

" Facts " are a pretty elusive thing in horse racing in general.

You should get to know some of the people here before insulting them.

Or not.

It is no crime to say that you believe GW is coming. Of course its not a fact until its official but nowhere did the poster imply anything about knowing this to be a fact.

Did you also fire off an angry missive to AO about not sticking to the facts during a live interview at Ascot where he said that basically that the BC mile was indeed the race that they were looking at. Since it was not actually a fact at that time should he be accused of pulling things out of the air?

If you think you've provided some valuable lesson about information, think again.

Well when it comes to Gorella, I get my information from Biacone. According to him, Gorella is most likely to go in the Filly and Mare turf. Now if GW goes in the mile, then Gorella is going in the Filly and Mare Turf. If GW doesnt, then Gorella is still more than likely to go to the Filly and Mare turf. Now, I also hear from the same person that GW is almost certain to go in the Mile--again, it is the mile or no race at all. This is info from the trainer of Gorella.

What a load of tosh has been spouted on this thread!

It's quite simple. George Washington is being aimed at the mile but, as we know, in racing anything can happen. He might step on a stone 2 days before the race, or get cast in his box. So of course its impossible for anyone to say he's going to run. He's being aimed at the race. BTW in the absence of Iffraaj, he's been shortened in the betting, as short as 5/4, but with 7/4 available with Coral and Hills.

The Classic is not on the cards at all, because there's no way they'd chance his stamina in a race like that first time on dirt. Whoever mentioned the possibility of that race needs to get a grip on reality!

Where do I get this grip that I so desperately need?

I would love to see the inside information I posted. Please show me. Nothing I posted hasn't already been said in public. I can't help it if you guys do not read papers, watch television or listen to radio outside the US. It is funny how you guys post about horses overseas without paying any attention to what goes on over there. When you have to have a separate International section on your board, you pretty much are admitting you do not care.

well now i
have enjoyed
reading this
thread and i
have to say
i like
your posts
as opposed to
btw's.


i don't agree with
this statement.
i think a seperate
section is a
good thing because
otherwise
threads would
be buried since most
ppl don't care.
