java...i HAVE posted threads...however the server crashed and my data was lost. BUT posting a thread does not make me a racing expert like your response might suggest. I just know for a fact that Easy Goer was a very tough horse with HORRIBLE ankles that Shug made into a legend and stallion. I just wondered how you could totally trash a Hall Of Fame trainer because of some personal issues he has overcome?????????????

Default Your missing the point

This is not a trashing of the Hall of Famer shuggies trust me. He was able to train Lure to back to back BC Turf wins. Great trainer lucky enough to have deep pockets aka the Phipps family. It would be interesting to see what he could do without them day in day out.

Did you ever think that Shugs was pretty much hands off with Easy Goer during his "personal" issue and Easy Goer was handled by his assistants?

However If you really think Easy Goer was a legend you are truly mistaken. Really good horse..you bet...legend I think not... lets save the legends for the likes of Man O War, Damascus, Whirlaway, Citation.etc... Easy Goer? Not a chance.

Good jabbing with JDank

JG...good jabbing with you too. That is why I really enjoy this forum...everyone here obviously spends a considerable amount of time following their favorite horses, trainers, jockeys, etc....and we ALL love this industry. While we all have our own opinions I feel the industry needs more people like the DT'ers to survive. We have opinions, we bet, we follow horses, trainers, trends, rules, track bias', and many others.....I LOVE the thoroughbred industry. I would follow it everyday if there were no wagering, HOWEVER I LOVE to bet as well. With this being said I hope people like us can continue to help educate our friends about what a great game this is...whether you like to gamble, attend sales, claim horses, handicap, attend races as a social event, breed, pinhook, follow bloodlines, etc...there are so many avenues to a great hobby/business available.
