She wasn't that tough in the KY Oaks. She was in a five way photo for a distant second....and Pure Clan got a terrible ride or would have been a clear second.
Little Belle is not much.

Little Belle was coming off of a tough race where she put away a number of these horses in the Oaks. Came back a bit short by Mclaughlin's standards and ran a game race against a horse who was just hitting her stride. And, dare I say, you are wrong, there wasn't a photo for second. Little Belle was a clear second. But, my point was that the horse went to "Godawful" and without any injury or reason apparent, hasn't worked since April. Certainly a man in possession of the knowledge that you have has some understanding of the Etched, Little Belle, Unbridled Heart ...... "promotions". Just try to resist your urge to beat-up on folks and their opinions. You probably do have alot of info that many of us can benefit from. However, you disrespect yourself and your thoughts with cheap shots that I have seen you take fairly regularly on here. |

To get a sense of how bad Proud Belle is, you only need to look at TRAKUS for her race at KEE (4/5/08 R9); in particular, ground covered (feet)
in order of finish 2) Bsharpsonata +26 3) Proud Spell +54 and didn't handle the track 4) Life is Sweet +14 5) Country Star +65 etc. In fact, this SUCKUP only ran LESS than a single horse in the race--the last place finisher and this by 3 feet. What a shock that she ran 2nd in the Oaks. Then again, EDGAR was on Pure Clan. So, to say that Little Belle is NOT MUCH, is to state the OBVIOUS. Unless, you're one of the 'competition'; and we certainly encourage your opinions. |

I missed this hypocritical attack. Good stuff! I'll be in a dunking booth for charity at Saratoga sometime during the meet. I suggest you start saving your quarters and work on your fastball. If people can't back up what they post, as you can't with your Little Belle assertions, then it isn't my fault if they don't like my responses. This is an open forum for people to present their opinions....that does not exclude others from disagreeing. Sorry if you hadn't realized that. At least now I know why you took a foolish cheap shot at me in another thread. By the way, five horses were within a length of each other for second in the KY Oaks.

There wasn't a photo for second which is what you indicated previously. Saying she isn't much is a bit silly but we ARE in an open forum so you are welcome to your opinion, as am I. Your comment regarding a cheap shot in another thread just related to my agreement with yet another person who appeared to resent youR sarcastic/critical remarks. I believe he indicated you needed to have some manners. You see, even in an open forum, everyone is expected to engage in civil and appropriate conduct. You are good though. You manage to change the issue slightly to support yourself. A photo for second becomes a number of horses within a length of one another (still not correct but at this point, who cares). My comment about the Shadwell promotions, which was my entire point, is lost amidst all this bs. I don't agree that this is "good stuff" however. Your enjoyment of it is rather sad. |

By the way, I pretty much agree with your other points about Godolphin and Rick Mettee. Maybe it's unfair, but it does seem like the horses switched to him from Tom Albertrani haven't performed well, at least recently. Now, Unbridled's Heart got a mediocre trip, so maybe we're being a little hasty, and maybe I overrated him to begin with, but the terrible performance turned in by the once promising Barrier Reef is troubling. Ever since that horse went from Albertrani to Godolphin they have made one puzzling decision after another and now it appears he can no longer run particularly well. But, maybe I overrated him as well.
All I did was suggest that I didn't think Little Belle was much horse to begin with. Feel free to disagree. However, I think if you take a second and look back on your response you will see that it is unfairly personal.
