I just had to go back and reread this.

AHHH...make the memories. Today is what it's all about.

A stallion deal was done before the race, and I believe the announcement was made as well although I could be wrong about that.

I'm just saying, the last year in poor old Badge of Silver's life has been an interesting one. FIrst, he was going to be retired, then he came back and ran one race in like nine months. Then, his comeback race is a turf race in the Breeders Cup, and finally, they run him on the dirt in the Cigar Mile? The poor horse's emotions must truly be all over the place.

And, don't forget, his real trainer Dixie Porter will be sneaking him away from the breeding shed this year to race him.

First horse to make a million on the track AND breeding shed in the same year!

Thanks Dixie, I'm really honored because I know you've been busting out mutts like me for decades.

[blackthroatedwind]

While I am genuinely honored that anyone, much less someone as esteemed as you, would waste even the miniscule amount of energy required to place someone as insignificant as myself on ignore, I think you need to get a sense of humor tune-up.

Let's do a time line....


Saturday - Badge of Silver runs second in the Cigar Mile


Sunday - Dixie declares, in his position as apparent co-trainer of Badge of Silver, that the horse will make $1 million dollars racing in 2007.

Monday - It is disclosed that Badge of Silver has been retired AND that decision was made before the horse raced on Saturday.


If you don't think you are in for some good natured ribbing, and you can't take it, then you REALLY deserve some abuse.

But, I like you, so I will continue to give you a hard time even though I KNOW you will never read my posts again .

BTW, see ya next year with this one. I think I win this arguement.

While I give Badge of Silver credit for still having something in the tank as a 6YO after a virtual career of injuries, he hardly ran a great race today, and frankly considering the trips it's astonishing he JUST nailed second in the last jump. Silver Train did ALL the work, forcing Discreet Cat from inside during the fastest part of the race, while Badge of Silver laid in wait and merely sucked up. Now, he sucked up in a fast race, and deserves credit for maintaining at least decent form through a lot of adversity, but his performance today was at best third best in what was essentially a three horse field.

This is a usefull horse that can earn over a million dollars in 2007.

Now the battle begins (I WANT to run him).

How exactly is he going to make over a million dollars in 2007?

Honestly, it is more likely that you, me and Bea Arthur do an Ethel Mermon type performance in the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Andy, you know this is funny to me, b/c I just used Bea Arthur as a cautionary tale to this girl I work with. She didn't know who she was. Which just plain shocked me. How could you not know who Bea Arthur is.
