Acaffella could be a play on words, since he's from the mare, Special Ballad. Acappella is a singing group that has no musical accompaniment, just voice harmony. TJ

i could understand a horse like for isntance, sway away, his trainer is a nocal trainer. same with a horse like road ready, that's just where they are based.

but richard mandella is a socal trainer. for him to go out of his way to ship one north he could not have been extremely high on him. that's just my opinion.


Wrong. He couldnt get the colt back in for the last day of Del Mar and he sure wasnt going to run him at Pamona so it was off to Golden Gate to win a Stake with a maiden. Next stop the Norfolk and if he fairs well and has enough earnings onto the Breeders Cup. If he would have waited for the meet at Hollywood to run him again there is no way he could have had him prepared enough to go to the Breeders Cup.
we will see.



Dude what do you mean we will see??? There is an article in the DRF from last Thursday its on page 6 about Acafella and why he ran where he ran and Dick stating his plans for the colt. :roll:
dude who the hell pissed in your fruit loops? i offered my opinion on the horse and you went out of your way to jump on me saying he was the best horse ever lol./ i simply said we shall see, now please go somewhere and sit down

if you can't hanle someone having a different opinion than you, you don't need to be on a message board. i did not say "no this horse sucks", i simply said what i thought in a very respectful manner, here you come being an asshat, then when try to back out of it as respectfully as possible by simply saying, we shall see, you go off on another tanget.


if you spent less time bitgching and more time thinking, you would have asked, gee brandon, why don't' you like this horse. and i would have told you, that not only is this horse going against suespect talent, he's bred up and down for fake. mr greeley's thrive on the stuff and saint ballado is quite turfy

secondly, he has 2 siblings with a combined 6 starts and both got off to very fast starts as well.

so when this horse goes up against boys at tucskconva on a dirt track and comes around the stretch with hot dog in hand, i wont' say i told you so. i tried to be respectful but you are too stupid to realize that so i will just be an asshole.

there is alot more to projecting horses, how good they will be, than measuring how many lengths they win by first out,w hich is all most seem to want to do. this horse wants no part of 2 turns, and no part of dirt i assure you. he will make a nice sprinter on the west coast. book em danno

bdw, how was it that I was bytching???? I was just explaining to you what the plan was with the horse. I didnt go off on you, I didnt even get upset unlike you. Is it because you were wrong about what you thought the reason why the horse ran at GG and I knew what the plan was?
I would love you to show me anywhere in this thread where I said this horse was the best ever or where I jumped on you about anything I just said you were wrong about why the horse ran up north. You seem to be a little sensitive and to be honest I dont care if you like this horse or any horse for that matter. I was simply making a statement if I hurt your feelings I am sorry.

Bdw you do know this horse ran second going a mile first time out and won going a mile and a 16th in his second out by six right? You do know he was maiden while winning a stake right?

I say, I'm going to let the horse do the talking. It takes a really good horse to crush winners in a stake going two turns in his second career start. Last horse I was this high on as a two year old was Colonel John.

Caffella has tons of stamina in his Immediate family, I would say his odds are very good to handle a distance of ground. Let's watch Caffella, all the way to the 1st. Saturday in May.

I just wanted to say,

suck it.


don't argue with me when it comes to horses. this is a 1 turn sprinter. not a bc juvenille horse, i don't care what siegal says. if he could project horses he'd still be at team valor

Aren't you the same person who said Rachel was a "lock" in her last race? That she could gallop faster than any other horse in the race could run? That you 'didn't know a thing about horse racing' if she didn't win?

Huh.

Acaffella is not in the same class level as JPG & JC. I would have ducked the Norfolk & found an easier spot. A got beat 5 lengths, the same effort, will win many Allowance conditions.

Huh.
you are comparing apples to oranges. Rachel ran her ass off and just was in a race too far.

and i was right, she could gallop faster than life at ten could run (which is what i said, jack van berg said they when reffering to the belmont , i was reffering to life at ten. she could gallpo faster than she could run, there was no need to rate her.)


and that's not even the point.

the only reason I even responded, was simply because the ass hat that is empty blank, decided to go haywire on me for having an opinion. i didn't appreciate the shitty attitude, so yes i'm rubbing it in his or her face. I don't go out of my way to bash people's opinion even when i know they are freaking stupid sometimes here, it's an opinion. but when someone goes out of their way to bash mine, that's why i didn't say antyhing.. i knew this was going to happen and i knew i would get the last laugh.

Entry Blank quoted an article, and reiterated that an article was being quoted when you disagreed with what it apparently said and misconstrued it as Entry Blank's opinion. EB even went a step further and assured you that there was no hard feelings from his/her side and apologized if your feathers were ruffled.

It's no one's fault but your own if you take things too personally or misunderstand what's being said. I hope it's noticed by the Mods that you intentionally and crudely attacked a regular forum poster.
