Obviously like everybody I'm disappointed not to see him..like..now but I want him to be 100% so it's a fair look see at what you can get for $16 mil or whatever...(once the prices get too high, things just start to get fuzzy :wink: )

That picture of his face though..wow he's flashy ain't he? I sure hope he turns out to be more than an expensive lawn ornament. Looking at him and remembering the price tag I had this thought--it may sound superficial but ugly superhorses are just not as fun as pretty superhorses so if you got one and had to state a preference, I think you'd all rather he look like Secretariat even if you figure having one at all is good enough. So if he turns out to be something he'd look awfully nice in a magazine is all I'm saying.

For those wondering how he possibly pulled a gluteous muscle, here's some footage I think might explain it :lol: (ok so it's a Green Monkey not the Green Monkey but go with it...) : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... een+monkey

There was a thread a while back that spoke about the fact that he didn't have the most efficient stride.

Are you sure it wasn't the owner that pulled the bootie muscle trying to keep from pulling his wallet out of his back pocket? :lol: :lol: See now, if he'd flexed those bootie muscles instead of his buying power... :lol:
