Mullins after claimed from....wow!
 

Just did a little research.

206 horses claimed from Jeff Mullins
62 failed to race more than five times (30%)
10 broke down in their very next start (5%)
Most took a downward form cycle unless claimed from an expected drug user.

Is this data similar to most trainers or can a judgement be made here?

I posted this in another thread but I will put it here too.I think it is relevant.

No different than a bank robber or terrorist.

Mellow Cammie in the 8th at Del Mar tommorow......just claimed from Mullins. :(

Lets hope the mares taken from him arent bred.

Imagine what their foals would look like!!

I'd like to know that.....

but with the addition of the mullet


-bt-

other way around....mullins just claimed him.

oh yeah that's what i meant to type.

Anyways, maybe I should stay away from that one.

That's only because breeders like speed horses, and many more horses are being foaled now than back in the 1950's.

Don't blame drugs, blame the breeders.

blame both....and blame the market and the trainers and owners too....everyone is to blame.

I don't see it that way at all.

If you take drugs totally out of the equation...you're obviously left with no one to blame. The problem wouldn't exist.

I should stay away from this entire topic. Not getting into another Mullins fight.:D

Storm Cat is to blame for this, global warming, lack of world peace and the reason we've never had a woman president. (not that I'm voting for Hillary)

Mullins isn't the magician now that he once was.

Look when you've got a sport (baseball, auto racing, horse racing, pro wrestling) where people with mullets are rewarded for what they do, you're going to end up with a giant turd sandwich with an olive.

If I wasn't a sexist person I would vote for Hillary.

it's a chicken or the egg arguement....so many horses in the breeding shed ran on drugs...but the breeder didn't tell the trainer to give them....so now they are producing sub-par animals but it can't all be laid at the feet of the breeder....and those breeders who DO try to avoid fad sires and speed sires are left with a useful horse that is completely unmarketable....so unless they are breeding to race there is no point....so there you can blame the end user....

it's ridiculous to blame a problem as complex as this on only one part of the equation.

and if you took drugs completely out of the equation the frauds would be uncovered and wouldn't end up with ridiculous stallion deals like they do now...thus helping the breeder to create a better product.

I won't touch that. :p

Can I suggest a kinder on the eye background colour for your website?

Classic. Love it. We think totally alike.

Jeff Mullins is a giant turd sandwhich himself. Just think, he is the face of horse racing (or one of them). If he didn't fall into illegal drugs enhancing a horses performace, he'd be sitting in his fold up lawn chair outside his trailor on highway 36 slugging a schmidt in his white muscle T.

Funny how if Mullins were black and had cornrows and were talked about like that in the context of the stereotype, it would be racism.... a mullet? Bring it on and no problem. Talk about double standards....

.... don't get me started.

I keep forgetting..... he's satan and the rest of them are saints.

Yeah, now that is the kind of thing I trust a females opinion on!

Name me the color you think it should be, and I will make it so.

:p

Godolphin Blue or something just a bit softer.

Oooh are we allowed to give feedback?

(Nice one, Sightseek). :)

Hear the music! ;)

Feel the excitement!

Too bad the Dubawi kiss is gone.

Okay forget i said that...

I always wanted to give BTW feedback on his show but i was waaay too afraid to.

(... for next time around though remember body language! Arms crossed, hands covered or in pockets means you're lying for God sake).:D :eek:

The racing footage is cool, but I did like the old video better.

Do they have a slightly lighter shade than the one you changed it too? Much better though!

Now it's black, but I like that too.

How about now? Too light.

I'm a disaster at this.

I like it... it's not distracting. The other colors were way too bold.

edit - and no my name is NOT Sightseek..... sorry!

I like it too, like My Miss said, too bold is distracting.

Thanks!

I have myself a new color.

Of course, it was all just a desperate ploy to get some hits.

Shameless.... :p

Looks good.

Are you saying that YOU are the problem?

I'm always the problem

If you were out of the equation it would be very dull around here.

That's what I said about PG1985.

I was keeping trainers numbers how horses perform in their first race after leaving a particular barn.

Steve Asmussen was the worst. It took 43 horses for someone to finally win their first start post-Stevie A and that was an even money shot.
