Pedigree Query

Don't worry Heidilady, I wont be coming back. Sometimes I get carried away with my, as you said, spiels (and I hope this will be my last spiel), and I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I must be a masochist to even read anything on these BB's, just like the one that used to be at Thoroughbred Times. So,...

You know FOS, I'm not even sure why I am wasting my time typing these futile words to you. I hate getting into p---ing contests with anyone, especially on a BB, because we are both just spinning our wheels. I guess that calling you "defensive" and comparing you to Greg Brady made you feel like that ...

FOS, you are one of the most defensive people I ever seen (maybe I should say read). Basically I guess I should have asked you to clarify your statement, that a general statement about one FOAL, can blanket the entire stallion's produce population. I'm sure I'm not the only one that read your statem...

FOS, personally I am not a big Strong Hope fan, but what you wrote about him is very misleading. You are leaving the impression to the average breeder on here that all of Strong Hope's foals are awful and you should stay away from him because you saw one bad foal by him. When you leave comments like...

Rahy just keeps on rolling out hard-knocking winners.

Does this mean that the horse is dead? It can mean the horse is dead, they usually release names 10 years (or is it 5) after a horse died or in some cases sometimes the Jockey Club will release the name if the previous horse with the name is a retired gelding. To be honest, there is no rhyme or rea...

I thought the same thing re: "live" but I didn't want to sound sarcastic being new :lol: You should embrace and encourage sarcastic wit, not stifle it. Sarcasm = Wit with an agenda I've seen sarcasm start a lot of fights on these boards...it's kind of hard to read sarcasm since it is usually detect...

Goat, forgive me, I guess I took your first post as being very anti Songandaprayer, Successful Appeal and Thunderello. I guess I took it wrong. The question is, if these "problems" exist but do not hamper their ability to "get the job done," why bring it up at all, or when you write it, why not ad t...

Now they have one that has trouble breeding due to arthritis, one with swimmer problems and one that does not want to do his job. I am not going to mention stallion names but I can tell you that two of those stallions are mentioned in this thread. Those were some pretty bold comments, so I checked ...

Actually I think what Tom is doing in breeding to a brand new sire is a rational response to the current market. Yes, absolutely...I admit I am shooting for a "commercial" type foal. The point of the matter is I have a GSW mare who looks the part. She is big, strong, had stamina and speed on the tr...

Any thoughts? I'm not sure what to think myself. I don't like Bellamy Road, but Artie Schiller may be interesting.

I didn't hear that yet....they still have the 2006 fee on their website. I've only seen photos of him, but he looks pretty handsome.

I hope you roll snake eyes though...and cash a HUGE bet.

Thanks, I appreciate that, and I hope so too.

I love the E Dubai's and he is doing better than expected. I think he has been hovering around the top 6 or 7, which isn't bad considering he only has 43 2-yr olds, while Johannesburg, Orientate & Include are around 100- 134 2-yr olds. And you'll always see one or two FL stallions (Three Wonders...

Thank you all for your well wishes and your insights. Just one small rebuttal, while I agree 100% that Coolmore is the king of spin, I do not believe that to be the case with Bernie Sams at Claiborne. His reputation speaks for itself, when he says his stallion will breed to a max of 120, that ends u...
