It's almost as though they don't want to get Graded wins because he's a gelding.

Maybe they're so humiliated by the fact that they bought the horse w/o realizing he was a gelding that they don't want to bring attention to it by winning a race that matters.

I know they've made some silly purchases in the past...but really?

They employ Harty and Suroor.

Nuff said.

I doubt those two have 1000 functioning brain cells between them.

That's like saying PG1985 is a great bettor because he's cashed a few tickets.

Please tell me you aren't serious about that post.

If you are serious, that is epic stupidity.

It's not like they don't have quite a few geldings...

Age of Reason, Whispering Gallery, Sabotage, City Style, Highland Glen... there are others.

Just sayin...

(I think Sugar Ray is one) (?)

Why they bought him in the first place is beyond me. It just makes no sense considering their operation. But considering the half-joking, but half "wait a minute" comment...it does cause reason for pause.

Or maybe not...it just doesn't make sense.
