Could there be some changes ? Perhaps ? A bit of an understatement to say the least .

Maybe have a nice talk with all the horses, so they don't act like animals?

Hey, that's what I said earlier!

Though I guess for some people, any hint of subtlety gets lost in a fog of numbness.

I'm not referring to you, by the way.

I thought your earlier response brilliant

A horse is stupid enough to jump its own shadow. They weigh like 10X the average rider. Expect the unexpected....a nutso horse is gonna have its own way.

Thanks.

I just couldn't believe West Coast Invader was too dense to understand what I meant.

That way, the mensa members here will get their wish and horses can work one at a time. Should be pretty easy I think. Make it happen Sumitas and Chuckles.

With these fine suggestions I wouldn't be surprised if Sumitas and Chuckles are named co-CEO of the Breeder's Cup by the end of the day.

I don't think we should end at workouts though...how about each horsey entered on the day's card run by themselves and then the stewards can determine the winner?

Get about 15 of these and line them up at the finish line. I hear they can give the distance, calories burned, and heart rate. Have the first 15 go, then the next, then the next etc. There, problem solved

Bravo can televise these pageants, and instead of prize money the horseys compete for carrots, peppermints and Gift Certificates to Applebee's (for the owners).

Now you're thinking!

The Derby can be the annual BJI Contest.
