I like the quote Billy Turner made posted by Pup. "Good horses and good sires can't be bred, they just show up". Wish I said that first.............

Fred Hooper: "Good horses make good trainers" Damn right Hoop.........

I would like to see some opinions of who were REAL race horses.

Hopefully the Grand Master will help me out here.

BTW, there are TWO reasons and ONLY TWO reasons why today's thoroughbreds are a sad joke.

1) Inbreeding
2) Drugs

Skip Away was a real racehorse.
