What about Monashee? She's going for her 12th win today in the Maple Leaf Stakes. She's won her last 11 which include 7 stakes including a G3.

Stonewall is making deals for graded producers. I believe that's for all their stallions.

Call me silly but I'll take the opinion of a classic winning trainer who is respected across the board by the majority of people in the sport over people like myself, who sit in front of a computer and express opinions.

As I said, to each their own, but I know what side of the fence I sit.

I'm sure you'll get some nice sales foals out of them before they see a sale. Silver Bark has one sexy pedigree and Coded Princess is as sexy a physical specimen as can be!

We did ok with All For Fashion... 210k to Wayne Hughes. I was hoping for a little more but really can't complain.

You still can't come up with pp's to compare quality... you're going on number of starts in a race as your source of quality. Try again. And I'm not half the Storm Cat cheerleader as you claim, I just hate to hear the constant berating of him and respond with facts about his stud career. But STOP tr...

And IF grandma had balls she'd be grandpa. "If" is the biggest word in the dictionary.

Like I said, to each their own but I will never partake as an owner or a viewer.

I'd like you to show me the difference of quality between what Hallowed Dreams faced and this filly? I never once denounced the filly or the New Mexico breeding program... stop trying to do a bait and switch. Answer your own question... whats the difference in quality of fields? I'd like to see the ...

Re: Peppers Pride runs on Sunday

Here's what's wrong with this sport: Pepper's Pride is 12-12 and running on Sunday at Zia Park. Has the media picked up on her? OK, she's New Mexican bred and yet to run outside her state, but 12-12 is a tremendous accomplishment for ANY racehorse - how many have done it? Wait a minute... we had a ...

Well, to me, a regional stallion is that much more attractive when they actually have a legitimate top class race record... he has an extremely good Group 1 win to his credit. Pedigree wise, although his female family can look a little lite at first glance, there has been consistent stakes productio...

First off, TGM did not really sell for 16 million. That's a pretty well known fact and you'll hear it if you ask around any of the consignors or pinhookers. And secondly, did it ever occur to you that the only people walking away with the most expensive mares this sale are the people who spend the m...

And Larry, why do you think TGM's price changed the way the game is played at auction? If anything, prices were down immediately following TGM and the only reason they're up now is because Darley wants to be the super power in the industry they can afford to be. I don't think it has anything to do w...

Interesting comment from one so young to unequivocally state that a match race won't work. Match races only had success when horse racing was a top 3 sport and a national past time. It's not now and I dont think it ever will be again. You can try to create all the story lines in the world to build ...

On the issue that horses will run too hard in a match race, I've got to say I think that is a little ridiculous. Horses work in company all the time without going too fast. If the riders want to control the pace in a match race, the final time is more likely to be ridiculously slow than ridiculousl...
