Dynaformer Gone...

[pmayjr]

Calzone, all valid points, but jeez man. Quit hatin. It's almost like you took a tour at Three Chimneys, the horse bit you and you're still bitter about it. Just say "RIP" and leave it at that.

Ya know, something DrugS and I discussed once was which dude in your avatar photo is you?

I said the guy on the left of the photo (on the left, looking at the photo) is you, he said the other.

Which is it?

[pmayjr]

hehe... not to side-track/hi-jack the thread, but I'm on the left. The guy on the right is Jason Kay from Jamiroquai. I don't know why I never changed my avatar, but it was the thrill of a lifetime to get my pic snapped with him... eventhough they're a one-hit wonder here. Jamiroquai is best known for this-

And also providing the song for this famous scene-

It's easier to do this when your mind isn't being raped with nonsense.

At least a half dozen people who friended me have started threads like this:





Some of the comments are absurd.

You've got a poster on PA who takes a handicapping approach calling him the greatest sire ever. Kasept's too good of a guy -- he might as well have credited a guy who hit a lottery ticket for his outstanding vision.

And for the record, Mr. P. May Jr. -- Indian Charlie gets his jollies to your avatar photo.

I seem to recall things a little differently.

I agree with what you're saying, I'm just saying that it almost seems you have a personal vendetta against the horse lol.

And as for my avatar- it could be worse, I could have a Dynaformer avatar I suppose ;p

[slotdirt]

I haven't seen scavs in awhile, but I'd much prefer a Dynaformer avatar of any type to a scavs avatar with Big Brown.

I never bet a race that Dynaformer was involved in. I've been a fan of a few of his offspring. I have no vendetta against him.

Try to judge everything with as much detachment as possible from everything but facts.

I don't have an axe to grind with Man O' War and I don't have a personal bias to Discovery (a horse I knew almost nothing about a few years ago) ... a detachment from BS and love of facts might make it appear that way though.

Are there other cases of sires having that kind of luck (or overachieving from a breeding standpoint based on their mediocrity when they raced?)after not being very good on the track?

Someone told me that Danzig was unraced? True?

Danzig was 3-for-3 on the track -- never raced against stakes company. Fragile, unproven, but talented horse and obviously a great sire.

And yes, of course there have been plenty of excellent stallions who weren't much as race horses. They appear through all time peroids of racing history.

Distorted Humor was a pretty nice racehorse, but he's far exceeded expectations as a stallion.

Yukon was unraced and produced some pretty useful runners. He was exceptionally well bred however, and clearly was going to get at least a chance at stud.

West Acre was unraced and has been a nice stallion.

City Zip has far exceeded expectations, despite his impressive race career.

Malibu Moon only had two starts, but in my eyes at that time, he was freakishly good.

Unusual Heat.

There are plenty more, but Dynaformer would seem to be more extreme than most others.
