Since most of us agree about NO DRUGS

How do we let the powers that be know we want drugs stopped. Who started drugs in the first place? Can someone contact them and ask them to read what we horsepeople want done to save our industry, because if our beloved thoroughbreds continue their decline and we have more and more horses being put ...

What if we cut off drugs?

If we cut off drugs as Andrew Beyer says, we would have to cut down number of racing days by quite a bit to have enough horses to fill the races scheduled. This would have to go on till the sires that are around prove they can turn out sound horses. Studs that couldn't turn out horses that could rac...

This article by Andrew Beyer is the best i've read on the subject. The question now is how do we get out of the drug use without knocking so many horses out of racing, that we don't have enough to continue year round racing. What do yo think of his article?

The frequency of the US triple crown races is not a problem for the horses, it is a problem for the training regimens' of the US trainers. Bingo. We've lost the old school HORSEMEN who actually knew how to condition a horse to run every few weeks and run more than 6 furlongs. We don't have horsemen...

Any Non USA Horsepeople out there

Thanks for your thoughts from Holland. Some people over here are talking about doing away with 2 y.o. racing, but thats not a very popular idea. I personally don't think that will solve anything. Most 2 y.o.'s that race don't race more than 3 or 4 times and horses that don't race as 2 y.o.'s very se...

Overlooked Derby Horse?

A horse running from the 4 spot may outrun everybody at the finish. Court Vision may be the horse if super horse Big Brown's light schedule and outside post catch up with him. I'll tell you why I think so. First he has gained ground in the stretch in all 6 of his races. He has never been out of the ...

rULE mAKERS FOR pEDIGREE qUERY

Was this really worth three threads? If you didn't do it, someone saw an ad for the horse you ran and had nothing better to do so they incorporated the language of the ad into the info section (and no I didn't click on the ad so I don't know exactly what it says but that's what you are implying wit...

Hello Charlie. I recall posting with you on the old AOL forums. :) If you are terribly concerned about other people editing your mare's info, I can lock her for you - but be advised that if I do, you won't be able to edit her, either. You would need to contact me to add or change any of her info. P...

Powers that be for Pedigree Query

I just wanted to say one more time that someone other than myself put the message on about our filly (Doublenodouble) being similar to Curlin.

Also there must be a power that be for this site that collects the dues on Pedigree Query members.

Powers That Be for Pedigree Query

In short you're telling me the information on this site is not very reliable, anyone can change it or put info in. I used to think there were people running this site that knew what they were doing, but no more. :shock:
