Oh, and I am not pretending to understnd Australian racing other knowing they are small players in the grand picture of our industry - hence the comparison to New Jersey or louisiana programs - or any small programs...
No sir, you won't tell me anything.

The reason that American buyers don't go buy Australian horses and bring them here isn't because they are not as good as most other parts of the world. You really think South American and European horses are just better than Australian ones, and that is the reason you see a lot of them here?

I'm glad you have the assurance of having this figured out, but when you stumble across the real reason, feel free to come back on and explain it to everyone in an editorial.

You're wrong...that is the reason and the only reason....the idea behind buying a horse from elsewhere is to have a goiod enough horse to successfully introduce into a new market - and Australia doesn't have good enough racing stock for bloiodstock agents to waste there time over there...Why don't they coem for the Breeders' Cup..or the Dubai races, or Japan?....answer me that Mood....

You are wrong...admitting this and just stopping would be the best move...you'll never show that you know as much or more than me relative to this industry....nice try though

Since this thread is mostly off topic stuff that I don't want to read, I am going to ask this.

Did anyone see the St. Louis Derby? If so how did Lawyer Ron look?

Because the heart of the spring season in Australia is the run up to the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November. No part of the season is more important except for the Easter Carnival in the fall. They ain't gonna ship half-way around the world and miss the Cox Plate or the Cup, just for your entertainment. Their 2yo and 3yo are 6 months younger than ours, so they aren't going to send those.

You missed Elvstroem's win in the Dubai Duty Free?

The why do the best Euros go to America Breeders' Cup and Japan at years end instead of going to Australia if its such a premier racing tradition there?....Beacuse it is not compared to the Breeders' Cup ad Japan's big day of racing.....

Yeah ... right ...

... I guess that's why South American horses never race here either ...

... it's that old southern hemisphere time thing.

What a ditz.

BB, PA, CR, I didn't be seeing, "Lawyer Ron is the f'shizzle because..." Come on, homies, you can do it. This Aussie hatin' and name callin' is ruinin' the warm glow aroun' the Ronmeister.

Hey, I finally got it! BB and his cohort have been pulling our collective chains! Very good, we have been properly 'got.'

Making bizarre statements that I have to spend time finding the data to refute, then claiming what they said was something else. Like typing 'X was a horrible sire' and then when I show evidence that this is not so, maintaining that I should have read words that weren't there, ie. 'X was a horrible sire [of sires].' Tossing out gratuitous insults based on what somebody else posted. Then that marvelously Neanderthal statement (I paraphrase) "I don't know nothin' 'bout Australian racing except that it's gotta be lousy 'cause I don't know nothin' 'bout it." Priceless! My, but that got a rise out us!

I had a big brother like you fellows and I always took the bait; it seems I haven't learned from the experience. You must be quite amused that we actually thought you meant all those absurd things you wrote. Well done.

You're still avoiding the question ... like the phony hypocrite weasel that you are.

I said the Bull Dog line was more influential than the Sir Gallahad line from 1946-1956 ... and you said it wasn't.

Since then you've wasted billions of bytes and pixels on this site with your fatuous posts ... lots of storm and fury ... signifying less than nothing ... but somehow haven't found the data to support your flat-out-wrong assertion.

You will get around to that soon ... won't you honey?

they say when a pit bull locks his jaws onto something, that you have to sometimes put a pipe into his mouth to get him to give it up, to break the hold...can you imagine having that much tenacity, to never, EVER want to give it up??? i mean, it could be dead and needing to be buried, but it won't let it go...


the super derby had been mentioned as a possible for lawyer ron....bright one, who was sick and missed the travers, might be headed here. if bro derek doesn't make the sept 2 start, (the el cajon i believe, gonna be a full field there it seems!) he was also mentioned as possible to go to louisiana.

Thank goodness you're here, Danzig. I would love BD and LR to meet up again. I don't think any 3-year-old can beat Bernardini at this point (maybe Discreet Cat with a little more seasoning can give him a run for his money, but even then I don't know...), but I think BD and LR would be a pretty decent match-up.

So nice to the see the Derby contingent getting back to the races... when does Bob and John come back?
