Pedigree Query

Uh Oh! Bad news for needle trainers, vets and pharmicological wizards. Without lasix to mask their other drugs they might have to start training. Look for horses to last longer and run more often if this does happen (but I'm not holding my breath).

But I didn't see the above stallion on there, did anyone else?

ratherrappid and all: To the point about training or lack thereof, I can't remember when I heard this, but a commentator on HRTV or TVG suggested that Todd Pletcher did not train his horses very hard. I couldn't help but think that TP, before becoming a an assistant to Lukas, came from a QH backgro...

Yes but with counseling and carrots they should be fine.

I think someone just used an old catalog page, which who knows how inaccurate that makes the info. Brisnet says he made 1 start in 2010 and has earned a stellar $275. So he has graduated from an unraced 5 year old, to an unplaced 5 year old. That pedigree page belongs to his full brother Drysdale. ...

How much does he weigh? That is what he is worth (unless proved otherwise).

How much you got? We'll start from there and work up.

Some people might enjoy the taste of a million dollar winner more than sending it to a day spa for the rest of it's life. If that's what floats their boat and it's their horse - it's their business.

It's not a QH. A Quarter Horse tattoo has four or five numbers followed by a letter.

Since there are no wrong answers, you should breed like types. One of the primary mistakes in breeding racehorses is trying to correct flaws of one parent with the other (small to big, long to short, muscle to lean, crooked to straight, etc.). Balance, symmetric proportions and a hell of a lot of lu...

Yes, just as small horses are at a disadvantage on the racetrack. She will pass on her small size to the foals. All things being equal, small horses have to try a lot harder to cover the same ground a big horse does. The cards are stacked against all race horse breeders but running ponies against ho...

Generically, “Green Monkey” can be associated with any type of foolishly throwing money away on anything.

And in any case, the idea that racing ability and coat colour is linked is absurd.

How many white (not gray) or palomino racehorses can you name? Absurd?

As I said, there is no way I would touch one of the deals I used to do, today. My biggest mistake has been in tying up assets in land rolling over in 1031 tax exchanges, waiting for capital gains laws to be changed. My error was having more confidence in American people than I should. The election o...
