No Foals for War Emblem in 2007

I don't think that's going to happen to any more high profile horses that the japanese bought from the US. too much bad press. but don't think for a second that it's not happening to all the other horses over there that aren't a success (here too for that matter).

Trust me, I'm aware. It's a disgrace IMO.

I know Silver Charm has a buyback clause, Three Chimneys has first rights if they ever want to get rid of them. Ferdinand at least didn't die in vain, a lot of things have changed since that tragedy.

Dr F*ager--please explain a buy back clause for me.

Actually, it's better than that, guarantees his return after penison.

"We received an offer that, at my stage in my life, I could not turn down," said Bob Lewis, who campaigned Silver Charm along with his wife, Beverly, and retained a 75% ownership in the ten-year-old son of Silver Buck. "The contract gives us the right of first refusal to purchase him if he is ever sold, so that we can ensure his well-being, and provides that he may return to Three Chimneys Farm upon his retirement."

Thanks.

Imagine the impact in US racing is Sunday Silense would have stayed in the US.

Well, perhaps this is just me, but if I had a decent mare, I would try this guy out...

Perhaps this is our chance to get some decent Sunday Silence blood on this side of the pond.

Yeah, but the horses that aren't high profile still die in vain. You are correct though... with horses like War Emblem and Silver Charm, they should be safe.

Considering that's who we were talking about, I thought you'd follow...

You quoted me...

I said it was a disgrace that failed racehorses were sent to slaughterhouses.

If I'm not mistaken, Seattle Slew was rather partial to grey mares, and was known to have a rather low libido at times. I think he evenutally worked through it though.

Horses talk. Ya just have to listen carefully to understand. Now see after I hose Buck off after our ride, I put him back on the cross ties. I go to my car to put my hat and stuff away. He starts his whinneying. He knows I am coming back with treaties! He is telling me to "Hurry up will ya lady? I was a good boy today so hurry up!"

Horses talk.

He may be going on "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", lol

I always knew he was gay ..Seriously, what a shame...I think he was overrated and not sure what he could have really contributed as a stallion, but it is still a shame....that is what Insurance is for...
