The various threads here today put Dumb and Dumber to shame in terms of laughter. You just can't write this stuff.

Easy there Jim, Dumb and Dumber is pretty damn funny. These threads have been amusing, but that scene where he picks up that snowball and chucks it in her face......that cracks me up every time.

I'm not that high brow, my favorite is the toilet scene.

Still, I have to keep in mind that this is part on the online experience, . . . in other words, I couldn't make this S**T up.

Entertainment and all, this it is.

How are you all hammering my dreams? I'm going to college to be a cardiologist, own a very nice horse, and hang out with some of the biggest names in Thoroughbred racing. I'm already in the middle of everything in the industry living the good life. In other words, I was being very facetious in my previous post...

[quote=Cajungator26]I'm not trying to bust her dreams... it's just that things are very different in the racing industry. I have a background in show jumpers, and while I know a few things in regards to that discipline, the same rules don't always apply to racing. A successful race horse doesn't have to win any conformation contests if he/she can run fast and get the job done, you know? I definitely look at conformation (sometimes to the dismay of others, lol), but I think I've finally learned my lesson that how a horse looks in the paddock and in the warm-up isn't always going to be a preview of how they're going to race.[/QUOTE]

i am glad that my losses at the track could let you learn that... :p
that damn 6 horse. or was it the 2? :rolleyes:

I could be wrong, but " very facetious " might be a lot like " very unique ".

Regardless, thanks for clearing that up for all of us morons on the site. We were all confused for a second that you weren't ridiculously full of yourself.

They're small hearts.

Yep, getting ready to graduate and transfer. I'll continue to work at the college for the summer. Then I'll get the BS in Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill and then on to med school from there. I've got 10 more years to go, but it will all pay off. Following in my dad's footsteps...

Why would I do that? What does a horse racing message board have to do with medical school?:rolleyes:

About as much as your posts in this thread have to do with horseracing.

"I can tell Simon Cowell's heart has blockage just by watching him on TV."

This is now a five rattle thread. What a treat!

This might not look good on the resume either;

This horse is the best horse since Spectacular Bid. If he wins the BC Classic, he will be #1 on my greatest of all time list. 3 year olds don't crush older horses like he did in the JCGC without even being hit with the whip. Wanderin Boy is no pushover. Invasor was all out to beat Wanderin Boy in the Pimlico Special and Bernardini ran by Wanderin Boy with utmost ease even though he let Wanderin Boy crawl through a 25 opening furlong. I don't need to see the horse run face to face with another horse. I know what he is. A horse that has the fire in his eyes like he does will win the battle. He will literally crush his opponent when they look him in the eye. He will turn them back and make them falter. Bernardini is one of the best moving horses that I have ever seen. In fact, he may bet the best. The competition is ducking the horse. They are afraid of him. Even Lava Man's connections said that Bernardini was scary. He is scary. There is no other way to put it. And he gets better with every race.

He probably won't be headed until he faces Discreet Cat in the Dubai World Cup next year. However, even Discreet Cat won't be a match for this horse at a mile and a quarter. The truth is that Bernardini may never get headed because he is just too good. And yes, I bank on both of them being in the Dubai World Cup if both remain healthy. I really don't think that Bernardini will retire next year.

How long ago was it that I said that? Months ago and I was wrong. You all tend to forget that people do learn things in a short amount of time, especially when they are focused on a particular topic area and have good teachers.

Besides, I still hold to my tune that Bernardini was the most talented horse in training last year. I will not change my opinion of that.
