Sorry about the delay in answering, karenkarenn. Danny Shifflett at Lane's End Texas stands Grasshopper and can help with your questions. (979) 826-3366

Thank you so much, WaveMaster, for moderating our acrimonious verbal repast. Please pass the amanita sauce, and then stand back as mushroom-flavored equine chops with personal interests get challenged and sautéed by Texas Horsemen who are interested in the survival of the entire Horseracing Industry...

Looks like this old thread is starting to revive. Welcome, Mac! In Hockley you are just trotting-distance from Grasshopper. I haven't bred to him, yet, but have seen some of his get and they are spectacular. And thank you, Jellac. We TB people have got to keep on trudging with "what we've got," toge...

Joe, I did NOT go to Retama Park with Lane Hutchins or anybody else to pass out flyers. I was at home in Fredericksburg that night, and heard about it the following day. Period! I asked you twice for vet records on my mares while you had them at Key Ranch, because my vet wanted to know who had perfo...

I asked a simple, straightforward, unpretentious, unthreatening question, and I am lambasted with personal and mal-intended insults! Manifest hypocrisy of “mushroom” civility is thus posted for anybody that can read to see. I have never made a false accusation nor have I ever “attacked” Joe Kerby or...

Key: "cast your ballots for change in the upcoming TTA election!! It is time for change and the need to change the direction of the industry."
So whom do we vote for to achieve this change?

Roger: thank you for the request for nominal elucidation here. The words that best describe G2W that fit the article "an" would be "Anonymous Contributor." It appears that you almost had it! Also, off topic, congrats on your coinage and usage of the word "desparate," which is a useful combination of...

I didn't vote for a boutique meet, and I don't recall a vote for one by anybody else in the TTHBPA. But if Terry remembers one, so what? Maybe I missed something. Terry is honest and a good man, and if he was not quoted out of context, then I will not dispute his recollection. I respect Terry's effo...

Quote Roger "I think that your comment is just a play on words to deceive and mislead." My reply: Roger, I think that your comment is just a play on words to deceive and mislead. There was never a vote by the THP affirming the need or desire for the 60 day meet. The 60 day meet didn't occur for the ...

I stand chastised, and I do sincerely apologize to Bedouwia. Ajo

Right on, Bedouwia! So are you running for TTA or TTHBPA? If not, why not?

Theo: your critical acumen is appreciated! Wish I could get similarly enthusiastic commentary on Ten Horse Tales ( http://tinyurl.com/3x2zdey ) Oh, I forgot, I'm supposed to be out of here! Have a nice day!

Theo: the following essay was written before you posted and you were not in mind when I wrote it. Sorry about your horse. I had a yearling blow out a knee last year just horsing around in the paddock. Such occurrences are always heartbreakers. I wish you better luck with the other two. I am going to...

Kudos, G2W!!! So far in 2011, I have run more races in the truncated meets than all of the "mushrooms" combined. I have yet, in my life, to run a race out of state. I won, placed, showed and ran stumblebums that couldn't find a wire if it was glued to their nose. Yes, every one was a Texas Bred! And...

"Slots or nothing" is a political euphemism invented and used exclusively by people who have been unable to influence the horse-related political process to their personal advantage. It is my political opinion that it's repeated use, like the terms "60 day meet" and "48% racing day reduction" is fos...
