Quite a name yes, but how about the margin of victory in that race?!

Is there a better way to link that? Not everybody's computer gets along with Adobe. It locked up my browser. Can you PM me the names if they're 'untoward'?

hi Sam


Roll Your Own (by Smoke Glacken) was quite a name choice 8) :lol: .

Names aside though, the fact that Roll Your Own ran for a $5k tag...smoked :wink: the closest rival by 17 1/4 lengths 'powered off, in hand' (per DRF), is interesting in and of itself...don't ya think?

$5k tag...7-yo gelding...17 1/4 length winner, makes me wonder if there's more to this story.

Best.

Respectfully

Ah thanks FOS. Might I suggest another name for that breeder to use in the future? Letsblowthisjoint. Anybody? :twisted:

Not exactly the best level of horses, but it's slightly even more impressive to note that he led every call and was 9 in front at the half and just... kept... going.

I'm not getting it :?

What does Glacken mean? Cause all I am seeing is the word smoke that has anything to do with ROLL YOUR OWN.

I've seen way better, especially with combinations of both parents.

Letsblowthisjoint is much better IMHO

So what is the answer to my question?

What does the word Glacken have to do with joints?

Actually I think the emphasis would be on the Smoke in Smoke Glacken. It goes well with Roll Your Own as many joints are rolled personally by those who smoke them or so I've heard.

Nessa, don't encourage Edie. She's just trying to provoke me. Best just to ignore her and her idiocy until she hangs herself. Shouldn't take much longer.

Sam is paranoid and a stalker.

I really wanted to know why ROLL YOUR OWN was such a good name for a Smoke Glacken? Now if the breeder was able to combine both parents names or a play on, on one of the parents than that would have been a good name.

So far using one word out of both parents names to come up with one of Sam's favorite past times doesn't impress me LOL

Believe me I have seen and done much better myself

:wink:
