Yeah - calling me out on my age is the trendy new thing I guess. Like everyone just remembers things from 18 years ago with lazer like precision and has no need to review later on.

Who knows... in another 25 years .. I might have seen so much that I will have no need to review and just be putting quotes into old trainers mouths about stuff that never even happend.

How do I counter this amusing new attack? Maybe like ....

- were your father and grandfather stone cold degenerate gamblers who forcefed this sh!t straight down your throat?

- did you grow up living in a room above a bar that was known for bookmaking on the racing they showed on the local cable TV station before the big OTB came to the city in 1990?

- did your father ever quit his business to train race horses - even though he had never so much as pet a horse in his life before making the decision - and only got a trainers license because he bribed a guy? And only wanted a trainer license so he could gamble.

I don't even think they simulcasted with more than 3 or 4 other tracks in places like NY and Cal prior to like maybe 1995 ... if that ...did they? I can't imagine how people in those areas have seen as much racing even if they are 50. It's not easy for anyone to match that kind of degenerate upbringing.

Well, it's funny on how one hand he can lament people not knowing horses in the past, then on the other hand, he spews that crap out.

What do you do for a living?

If he didn't go to a PAC 10 school ... you'd probably say Cannon is just an Easterner with a bias against Cal racing.

A bias against Cal racing in regards to a horse from California vs another horse from California?

I'm more likely to say he's just yanking our chains.

He can't really be that much of a smooth operator.

LOL

So we now just selectively choose what races and years that are the true measure of a horse?

He was very good as a two year old.
Best pal was a pretty good three year old who ran well in a few big races
As a 4 year old he had a great spring
The rest of career was hit or miss, losing an awful lot to a lot of ordinary horses.

He wasn't exactly John Henry

For those of us to young to remember any of John Henry's career ... Best Pal was very unique and one hell of a horse when he was on his game before injury and old age caught up... and pretty solid there after.

In other matters .... Cannon ... would you care to guess at my current facebook status...

OK .... what does it mean when a chick changes her relationship status from "single" to "it's complicated" ? A.) The guy who met me at a party a week ago and tapped my fat ass hasn't called me back.
