Pedigree Query

An exercise rider in my barn used to feed all of her mounts Skittles. Never saw one refused.

Haven't posted much here recently,but thought a few folks might like to know that I have purchased a 2% share of three well-bred 2YO's, all of whom, if all goes well, are headed for Saratoga. I am psyched and scared. :shock: My goal is to have success so I can invest more money and maybe be a full ...

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Did you pick up some malware or something? This morning after going to the PQ home page and logging in to the message board, I "clicked" on the discussion I wanted to read and was directed to a survey page (a 3rd party site) and asked several very specific PQ...

Really PQ??? Sending users to a bogus survey page? Shame on you!

So today I'm out drinking with a good friend of mine and he's a horse guy and we get to talking about horses, and the topic of dr fagar comes up. I must say, this is a question I'v enever heard before and we had a good 15 min debate on this If you were the owner / trainer of Dr Fagar and you got to...

Brogan that attitude is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. They broke the rules and got caught. Yes, they got caught and were disciplined by the appropriate state racing commission. Deservedly so. My point is that the Jockey Club has jumped in with a basically meaningless penalty...

The Jockey Club should be penalized 5 yards for piling on.

Sorry, but some people will try to beat the system no matter what the raceday medication rules are.

Remember...the best trainers and the best owners are the ones that are willing to give their horses TIME when they need it. This is especially important with young horses. I agree with the previous post about pin firing...its just a forced lay up period in almost all cases, as far as I'm concerned. ...
