Why Super Frolic matters

Nevertheless, I agree that people shouldn't be making jokes on the same thread as the one you mentioned above. It shows a complete lack of respect for the dead...

RIP to Mr. Carter.

Are you saying that a horse's death is more tragic than a person's death?

You clearly cant be this insane.

You clearly can't read. Please don't put words in my mouth.

f you did ask them, what kind of a response do you think you would get?

Uh, DOH! I would venture to say that 99% of all horses would chose grazing in a pasture over being in training at the racetrack. Was this a serious question or do you *really* not know a damn thing about horses?

And to cmorioles, you do that. I hope you have a lot of pasture. No, this is not the PETA board. It's a board for the sport of horseracing, which includes those who just love horses and those who just love gambling. It's kind of like a "checks and balances" system. If either side gets all the power, horseracing is dead. And oh yeah, some of us love horses and gambling. It can be done. Have a little compassion.

I would definitely fall into that category.

People can care about horses and still love gambling on them. We just look at it differently. Takes alot of different people to make up this world.

But I still don't understand jumping someone for saying they cared about a horse.
I cared about what happened to Super Frolic and many other forums were looking for news. So he had a lot of fans out there in horseracing land.

If people don't like the post dont read it, it's not like there weren't many other posts being made today not regarding Super Frolic.

The animosity still baffles me. Doesn't matter if she is "new" to the game. I'm not new, my daddy brought me to the track before I could speak. I still care what happens to them.

Nice, thanks FGFAN. I also love both aspects. And sometimes(ok, many times) because of my primary love, which is horses, I feel at odds with my secondary love, which is horseracing. One could see how this could happen.

In any case, I appreciate MMSC's threads immensely. But if I didn't, I would just skip them. If you don't "get" those threads,,, that's okay. They're not written for you.

Thanks Danzig!!!
I'm having wine as well. The new farm is coming along nicely. I just made a 150 mile trek today to pick up 6 gates, some stock tanks and a couple more rolls of Centaur fence. I shamed the poor guy out of a feed scoop, a big-@$$ pumpkin and a bunch of pens with the business name.

And I see that you are a Redskins fan??¿¿ Me too, born and raised in D.C./suburban Md.
*Suzanne*(Ha!)

I get e-mail alerts for every horse that dies in the world.

This is how I feel everyday...

Absolutely! Very good. That, and I'm hoping to start a new trend here on DerbyTrail.

Suzanne(plus I love the sight of my name)(picture it in lights on broadway)

Yes, Cardus!! Very well done. That is my intention. I've been known to mesmerize the unsuspecting into a *coma* with my use of the asterick mark. But, notice, I don't always use it. I like to switch it up with quotation marks and caps.

I roll like that.
