I believe Bold...

He was very reasonable in our Smuggler discussion, so I believe him...

Bold Brooklynite was a public skool gym teacher.

He retired at age 59.

He actually owns the Brooklyn Bridge and leases it back to NYC.

He still has and wears daily the first pair of shoes he ever bought.

Thanks ... and I have voiced my respect for your veracity too ... but ...

... it's not a matter of believing or not believing ...

... it can be looked up. And if it weren't true ... you can be sure that my "enemies" would be documenting it ...

... ummm ... maybe not ... most of them are too dumb to know how to use the "Search" function.

It says nothing about how you financially benefitted by knowing Bernardini was the goods early on...says nothing about you capitalizing on 12-1 in the Preakness or any other races.....???????

Wow, all of the sudden this is World War II....Are you having flashbacks, Sir?...Don't be dillusional about percieved importance...this is a simple chat board....I doubt anybody really gets to "making enemy status" - and if they do then they have issues that are probably too large for therapy to help...:D

I think this is what you are wanting to hear...."Bold, you are the man!"

BB...I rate Bernardini as your best "never, ever doubt..." horse you told us about over on the other forum. He does look to be everything and all that. I sincerely hope the sheikhs run him at 4 as well. Even if he's yours, we can all enjoy the greatness he hopefully will display the next 16 months.

Oh I apologize sir, I did not realize you are a senior citizen...
I didn't mean to be disrespectful to an old person

I have this gut feeling that Bluegrass Cat will get a lot of Bernardini's support now with all of the buzz and the fact it is Pletcher....I think Bernardini is 3/4...Bluegrass Cat will be around 8/5 - 9/5....I suppose....

No ... it just says that I don't follow thoroughbred racing to make money ...

... this is a matter of the heart for me.

1. You did notice the quotation marks around the word "enemies" ... didn't you?

2. I agree ... there are some people on this forum who "have issues that are probably too large for therapy to help" ... emphatically.

There's a "Member" board on this forum ...

... try to familiarize yourself with it.

You may look less foolish if you do ... but then again ... you may not.

Can't say that I disagree with you ...:D

Anyone familiar with my posts ...

... knows that "the Pletcher buzz" should move Bluegrass Cat's odds up ... not down.

How the H*LL can you say you have dibs on a horse. That's what the window is about not with us. I think it's absolutely self absorbing to say you pick a horse over others on this site. What about if someone thought the same thing a week before you. On, I know where's the proof? Right?

Well I want to say I have dibs on all the best looking women on the planet. There, I'm first and all you have to send me pictures of all the great looking woman you see and there all mine, ALL MINE!

Get a life. We all play this game for the love of horses and yes, we all like to pick winners. But you have one heck of a tude to claim a horse you don't own, train, ride, or even shovel the turds for. Hey your retires so buy him with all the money you have.

Much too general ... "best looking" is too subjective and overly vague ...

... try to be more specific.

When I make forecasts about horses ... I use specific names ... not just "any bay colt" ... let's see if you can narrow it down a bit.

i had Bernardini before you did brother

my best friend is from Ocean Parkway
and I've been to Brooklyn a few times
Smith & Nine, Church, Ft. Hamilton Pwky
see I still know the train stops
respect
still, you could be a little less pompous

I had him first because i was there the night he was born in that little stable with his mommy.

I just want to pompous you up.

Cute ... but ... when exactly did you predict he'd be 3YO champion ... and ...

... can you document your prediction so that it passes the most severe scrutiny?

Nobody takes Bernardini away from me ... without a battery of lawyers ... or a battery under his saddle.
