Sight,
Re: your post

As usual for me, I responded before thinking the thing through.

Your points were excellent; however, you forgot to mention any ramifications for the vets. No the average fan is not a vet but you will have to admit that a hell of a lot of backside vets have milked the system for a long time. If the vets demand that nobody but a vet can even be allowed to worm a horse or float his teeth, etc,etc then by gawd let them pay the price too..

Sight,

Excellent post

Jerry,

Your efforts are very honorable..

What if Vegas:

took all the Aces and face cards out of the shoes, loaded the dice and set the slots to only pay off once a year?

How long would the desert stay green?

Now all the tracks,breeders and trainers are pissing and moaning and begging the govment to save their sacred sport by raking some of the take from casinos.

Something doesn\'t seem right here.

Charm,
Sorry about redundent question, I must have been typing while you were posting.....

Sight,

Don\'t want to get into arguments with Kool Aid,voodoo, or any other camps.

However, I have a question. If Clenbuterol helps them run farther not faster; doesn\'t a horse breathing better sometime run faster or does Clenbuterol effect not kick in until after a certain amount of energy has been used or distance has been traveled?

Don\'t want to spread a rumor;there was talk today that Dunkirk may have suffered a fracture. Haven\'t seen confirmed or denied; don\'t know how bad if it is indeed true.

I agree. It cost me,but at least Richiebee didn\'t have to endure another Borel post race sloberring episode...

Even his agent when watching the replay when Borel sent him; said \"whoa boy! whoa boy! where you going?\"

The country bumkin got a little to full of himself and it cost him...

Very unselfish act Jerry...........

Nice score.. Is Calvin hot today or what???

Ron,

I think all Street Sense ever did after the Derby was to get beat a half head by Curlin and then win the Travers and Jim Dandy....

Thanks Alan

Smalltimer,

I couldn\'t find the story. Do you have a link?

You know when I watched the replay and Calvin looked back after he came through and took the lead; he looked back and shook his stick back at the jocks behind him as if in a good bye or f@#k you gesture and I thought something was strange. He may have taken a lot of heckling from the other connections as well.
