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.

He's going to be seven years old, he has not yet had one season where he has stayed sound, and frankly he is not fast enough to win serious two turn races.

Frankly, it would be optimistic to expect him to run five times in 2007. Making a million dollars is beyond optimistic.

Good luck.

Yes, but other than that there would appear to be no reason he couldn't make a million.

I would hope, and assume, that Frankel has more reliable horses in his barn so that " dancing with the gal that brung ya " doesn't mean he is relying on Badge of Silver. I would imagine that Mr. Frankel will be grateful for anything he gets out of this battle scared veteran.

Ethel Mermon? Wouldn't Esther Williams be more fitting?

Thank you. It was late, I struggles for the name, got the E and blew it from there.

Thanks for the clarification.

Esther Williams always looked so hot to me in that white one piece.
Ahhh...they don't make mermaids like that anymore.
Now, if we were talking about sharing a dip with Rosanne Barr, I'd be very careful about "water pollution". Watch out for brown floaters and harpoons.

Well it all depends on what image you were going for. I'm sure Ethel Merman, like Shelley Winters, has done stints in pools...

I really wonder whether anybody truly has a plan for Badge of Silver.

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.
