the one offer Sackatoga turned down

this is pretty lame....I assume even Jack knowlton must know that clones can't be registered....not that I think they should have said yes under any circumstances...but his reason is pretty stupid.

I do not think his reasoning is stupid by any means. Would you want to bet on a race that has multiple clones of one or two horses? Isn't the thought of that just idiotic? At that point why breed new horses? Or should we start a Champions Divison and just race clones of champion race horses against other champion race horses. Just does not make any sense.

I do not think he was refering to everyone wanting their own Funny Cide clone, but more of an idea of why cloning should not be allowed.

his reason is stupid because the jockey club doesn't allow clones to be registered....therefore no clone would be racing period.

and if you read what I said...I agree that he should have said no...I don't support cloning, however I think hs stated rational is lame, since it gives an impossible situation as an example. The JC isn't ready to budge on AI, no way are they going to change their stance on clones.

I was not saying you were in favore of cloning, I merely said I think his point was valid.

Also, I think he was giving an example of why it is cloning is bad for the sport, and a reason why the JC does not and would not allow it.

I wasn't trying to argue the point, just saying I do not think his example was "stupid."

i told my kids i was going to clone myself, so that at least i wouldn't have to work more than forty hours a week--the clone could work some of my days...or do my housework.

they thought it was a great idea. til i said that i didn't want to go to jail for killing 'me' if i caught 'me' in bed with my husband!!
