You know, it's just my opinion; you have yours, I have mine. I thought this was going to be an interesting and friendly conversation, but the last comment told me otherwise. Have a nice day and good luck in all your racing endeavors.

I think he was trying to point out that when a horse 'steals' a race it's done while on the front end.

Thank Caj. I do understand what was said, I just didn't quite like the tone of that post. It reminded me of the tone I got from Dabosshoss the first time I replied to a post. I guess my skin isn't as thick as my skull apparently is. I should perhaps go back to viewing posts for a while.

And thanks for the tip a while back about Cotton Blossom. I won some nice money on her Saturday.

Yeah, I hear you... sometimes it's tough to get a good read while on message boards. I get what you're trying to say as well... Giacomo sure as heck stole the race from me. I didn't have him on any ticket!!! LOL

Glad that you cashed on Cotton Blossom... really like that filly.

When I saw her name on the program, I thought of you and said, put some money on her. Cajun said so!

I wasn't trying to be condescending & I apologize if it came off that way...but terminology is terminology, it's not "you have your opinion & I have mine"...it is what it is. Thanks for the clarification Cajun!

I did overreact a bit, but I was burned badly with my first posting experience, so I tend to think that most people are out to make me look like an idiot. In any event, thanks for the apology, although as I look back on the notes, I looked like the idiot. I'm thinking I'll need that Terminology 101 now. Thought I understood all the terms, but apparently not.

I'm not trying to make anyone look bad & believe me, I'm no "expert" and proud of it! You can learn a lot from this board though, just tread lightly & watch out for the sharks...

Thanks for the advice. I have been trying to remain under the radar, but sometimes I forget and situations like this occur

to Tinny it doesnt matter he just enjoys running .

Or is it that he enjoys leaving the whipper-snappers and doubters all shaking their heads saying "How did he DO that?"hehe Happy horses make great race horses. As far as the Million goes.....blah, blah, he stole it, blah, pace was to slow, blah. He and Victor cant help that the other jocks fell asleep can they? ..........<Tinny and V, galloping off "See ya next year suckers>

Actually, you did. I deleted the post because you scared me. You don't scare me anymore. Oh, and I guess I messed up your handle. Sorry about that. That's what I call you in the comfort of my own home.

Oh, shut up already.

Who knows... sometimes we can all come across as the 'Big Bad Wolf' to newer members. It just takes some time to get acclimated.

Good point. I have been reading the forum for a while now, and I'm not as nervous about posting as I was in the beginning. I spend more time reading the posts however. There are some people on this forum who are quite pleasant, some who are interesting, some who are just plain BRUTAL, and some who are certifiable. No one involved in this conversation falls into the last two categories

My first post was a comment about Nicanor, and you made a reply about my abilities to identify sarcasm. I wanted to reply back, but the whole exchange "scared" me, so I just deleted my messages. Today's exchange reminded me of that day, and I got a little carried away.

You don't scare me anymore. I find your posts and the majority of posts very informative, interesting and quite often very amusing.

Have a good evening.
