Pioneerof the Nile!!!!
 

BJI - Simply Misunderstood - Majorly Misunderstood - time for a NAME CHANGE! Let's call it the:
Greatest Winning Power Rating - or something more professional!

It's simply analyzing the horses pedigree and quantifying the horses by using a number.
It helped me to fetch the: Barbaro - Bluegrass Cat Exacta in 2006
Giacomo - Closing Arguement Extra in 2005
Birdstone upset in the Belmont Stakes in 2004
and solid win bet on Friends Lake in the Florida Derby a few year's ago.
Last year it was awful though..... I had Monba, Eight Belles, and Court Vison (as the top three)

It's basically recognizes how a horses family members (Sires/Dams) etc. performed in GI races to black type stakes winner, etc. Birdstone has been my highest number up to this point with a 887. Pioneerof the Nile is clearly much, much, higher. 1,000 would be a perfect score. We will find out on Saturday. This year I changed it a little though to allow non-raced mares to receive higher numbers if they have super siblings (like Ajina in Quality Road's pedigree). Get your minds out of the gutter! Take Care!

what?

Someone who has "pole" in their handle comes on spouting something about a BJI.

Interesting acronym to say the least.

NT

BJI simply means Big Johnson Index.

The thread starter obviously took the time to measure them all ... and I've heard worse handicapping angles than betting on the horse with the biggest dong.

My BJI is off the charts in case anyone is curious. Just an FYI.

Maybe Scavs can give us a ruling on Big Brown's BJI

I bet I'm not the only one eager to search his other three posts.

I hope someone brings back the Golden Missile thread for him.

I also feel this thread should be an eye opener for those that don't understand why I don't like Pioneer of the Nile.

You checked all the stallions???

You're leaving yourself open for some bad jokes with that one.


2nd set Saturday was great, by the way.

Dynaformer is the John Holmes of Stallions, according to a book I read titled "STUD".....True Story.:o

I had fun.....but ultimately they are a cover band of themselves. Not for me.

I did discover the best Uncle John's Band ever today......Glens Falls, 5/5/81.....check it out.

He's a crack head?

this thread could get ugly..... but i'LL PLAY FLYING PRIVATES.... (COULDN'T RESIST...)

Yup.

Same fans though... just 15 years older!

Does this mean Toussaud is the Linda Lovelace of broodmares?

Summer Colony is/was Polish?

Probably the greatest Polish race horse of all time.

That is what makes the ticket prices even more ridiculus.

I saw a cover band of the Beatles, at Strawberry Fields in Central Park on Sunday...I enjoyed it.

i wood have thought win willy wood've been higher on the list

Can Baffy get his Derby mojo back??? lol

They're relatively low considering what some bands charge. Of course, I still have stubs from Dead shows in the early 80s when shows were under $10. I spent less for entire tours ( and I mean.....entire tours ) than a pair of tix costs now.

Entire tours?? Are you implying that you smoked...ahem marijuana cigarettes?:confused: Did you partake in tabs of LSD?:eek: or maybe even psycadellic mushrooms???:zz:

No, he spent his time on tour scouring usenet horse racing message boards.

I would have if the internet was around then.

We did watch a lot of sports. Saw the BC from Aqueduct with about ten people in a hotel room in Richmond. Sorry to miss the BC....but the two shows in Richmond in 85 were all-timers.

Those second sets, especially the first night, were incredible.

The drive up from the Halloween show at the University of South Carolina was a hoot as well. I also saw the shows at the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta the previous nights. Now that's a great venue.

I don't know about you guys but I'm a rabid Jonas Brothers fan.

You would have liked going on tour. Lake Placid on a beautiful Fall day.....same with Portland and Augusta, Maine. Those were good times.

Then there were places like Birmingham, Alabama, where some girl called me a " f'n yuppie " because I wouldn't give her a dollar for " a shot of Jaeger. "

The Internet has been around for about 40 years or so, in various forms.

If Sal had been in Augusta, I assure you he'd have been at the OTB hunting whales.

If he had been at those Augusta shows he probably would have been in utero.

Not according to Al Gore.

I think he was four by then. I'm pretty sure the only thing he knew how to read until high school was a form.

He had(has) that whole savant thing going you know.

Oh my God I just did that... tell me I'm not the only one.

It was actually a bit disappointing.

dirty hippys

The Dead were okay...saw them first at the Fillmore East in '68 or '69. They weren't very good. Then in Denver with Flatt and Scruggs, in '72. They were much better. The final time was at the English Town NJ racetrack in '78(?) with Marshall Tucker. 125,000 whacked out people in the mud. 2 mile walk to the venue. Nothing at the concession stands but warm C & C cola. Nasty day.

My Dead days probably died about the time Andy's started.

Kris S apparently wasn't lacking either... According to the manager at Winstar
