Re: interview Aidan O'Brien

Did he give any hints as to why he is a 3% career trainer on American dirt?


Or on why it's been a decade since he last won on American dirt?

Re: Galopin sireline incorrect according to genetic research

I love this sort of research. But I'm still trying to figure out how a horse from my youth, named "Son of St. Crispin", was back then listed as being both BY St. Crispin AND out of a mare by St. Crispin back then... and only in the present is he listed as being by another sire (making his ...

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

And if it matters, the author of the story at the first link here (Bloodhorse/TruNicks) has to be a complete idiot. He writes: "The 1991 Kentucky Derby victory of Strike the Gold – who initially had a DI of 9.00 – caused a reclassifying of Raise a Native to get his Roman Dosage under 4.0...&quo...

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

I think that Byron was a little premature in announcing the demise of dosage. You will notice that Pedigree Online has now updated their chefs-de-race list to include the latest updates from our Australia and New Zealand list. You can find out more details on the full list and recent updates on htt...

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

*** I tried to post all of that as one entry, and I got a response that I was "blocked" for some stupid reason. (2nd time tonight)


I didn't change a thing, and it let me post all of it over three separate entries.


What is this solving???

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

Zito, now 0-1-0 from his last 23 Kentucky Derby starters, including five chances in 2005, when he finished 7-8-10-14-15.


Zito is 86 / 1197 since the beginning of 2015, at a whopping 7%

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

The black eye that was Alydar having been named a Chef immediately AFTER Nick Zito and his "voodoo" declaration, about the whole Dosage concept, was something from which Dosage never recovered. (Of course Alydar was every bit an appropriate Chef-de-Race) And surely time has shown that Alyd...

Re: The Disappearance of Dosage

When will someone find a Professional Chef-de-race foaled sometime after 1976 ???? (I know you need the statistics to back it up {which indeed may be the greatest hurdle}... but there must be SOMEbody...) I mean, Zabeel has certainly had considerable successes with long-distance types (but likely he...

So what if (the post quoted above) was 13 years ago. It brings to mind my nomination for the worst of all time: "Papps Mirror" And a wise man once told me that in the late 1980's, The Jockey Club hired people who... who... who might not have been the best at knowing North American slang (o...

Re: Name Shame ? - Galloping Grocer (and other crazy moniker

... yeah, just like 1:08 2/5 seemed a little fast for a $3200 claimer there, especially for a horse whose top speed figure in recent years had been '57'. At least this mighty horse had been a habitual '62' speed figure type. and last year's 1:09 was 'a little fast' for a $3500 claimer who is 3-for-4...
