Green Monkey is a bust on the track. Who is to know what he can do in the shed. What if he becomes the top freshman sire. What if he sires 3 KY Derby winners in his life. What if he sires 6 horses of the year. I know this is all "what if's" but you never know what will happen. I do wish the horse luck in the shed.

Are you high? 3 KD Winners? 6 HOY? If he doesn't run a lick he'll be in FLA for $5k and won't get nearly the quality of mares that would be required to do that. I'll go as far as to say he'd be lucky to ever sire a G1 winner in his whole life. Now put the pipe down and return to reality.

a grade one?! he'll be lucky to win a race at all....or even make the starting gate for that matter. odds aren't in a horses favor to do any of those things, regardless of price paid!

Most people don't pin the " Kick Me Please " sign to their own back.

whatever dude, i think he will, do you want me not to have a opinion because of what other ppl think ? the bottom line in this game is if you make money handicapping and i do ok, so all the other stuff is just discussions and opinions nothing more.

First, there is no chance you make money playing this game. None. I admire your enthusiasm but not your opinion. It's bad.

Secondly, anyone can have opinions, but if they post them here, and they are as ridiculous as most of yours, then they should expect to be mocked.

My problem with this post is that you don't seem to realize quite how difficult winning a G1 race can be. Look at a horse like Sun King. He is a pretty good horse. In his life he has won two G2s, two G3s, and been on the board in seven G1s. But he has never won a G1. I think that if the Green Monkey ends up being as good as Sun King, we would all be pretty shocked at this point. But even if for some strange reason that does happen, it STILL doesn't mean that he is going to win a G1.
That, in my opinion, is one of the main reasons that your post will prove to be incorrect.
