Didn't somebody mention that the St. Louis Derby has been run for like 50 years? Funny how every news story on the race calls it the "inaugural" St. Louis Derby.

Okay dawgs; I've had enough of all dis yellin' and disrespectin' on a thread about my main man, Lawyer Ron. I don' wanna see no more posts bringing bad energy into his aura, know what I'm sayin'? From here on out, every post on dis thread best be startin' wid, "Lawyer Ron is the f'shizzle because..." and then I want ch'all be postin' some good reasons why he's the f'shizzle. I mean it. I love me some bitchslappin' on the OT boards as much as the next chick, but I don't want no mo' slappin' on Lawyer Ron's thread.

I mean it. Don't make me go all Lou Ferrigno on yo' asses.

BuffyM, I emailed to the NTRA.com site, "Yo what up, why you be hatin' on Lawyer Ron and not showing his race so we can give him some love?" so maybe they'll post it. You could email them, too, though maybe you want to be usin' some better grammar than that when you ask 'em.

I'll put it to yoiu in a big picture to understand what I mean....If Australia was crushed by an enormous earthquake/tsunami and wiped off the entire continent and killed every Thoroughbred that existed there --- the Throughbred horse racing industry would NOT be impacted significantly....get it?

Now, if North America or Europe were wiped out, it would cripple the industry....Would you not agree?

...Let me know if you want to take horse racing 201 next....
No, Joel. I don't "get it." You are wrong here, buddy.

Every horse I mentioned is a champion, and if you don't care to research who they beat, what they won, and how they did it rather than just discounting them because they didn't run in America then that is your choice. I'm definitely not trying to convince you of anything. It isn't much of a debatable point.

The Melbourne Cup and incidentally the Flemington Spring Carnival coincide with our Breeders Cup. The Melbourne Cup is usually the first Tuesday after the Breeders Cup day.

Contrary to popular belief, a Breeders Cup race to Australians definitely isn't a bigger race to win than The Melbourne Cup.

Elvstroem went to Dubai and won two years ago in the Duty Free, Takeover Target and Choisir won Group One sprints at Royal Ascot in the last few years, and they do consistently go to Japan and Hong Kong and run competitively.

Hong Kong racing is made up of former Australian and Kiwi gallopers who change their names. There was one formerly named Eltira that did pretty good for quite a while (Silent Witness)

There will be European, Asian, and Arab-owned horses contesting the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, and Caufield Cup this year, they always do.

If you were Australian, wouldn't you rather win a Cox Plate, or a Caulfield or Melbourne Cup than a Breeders Cup?

I'm not sure why you have taken this attitude with me, because I assure you that I won't be taking any lessons from you.

And I can also guarantee that you wouldn't be popping off your mouth if we weren't on this gay-ass message board and face to face.

Your true ****-ish attitude has shown through Joel, and you have quit debating topics and are now just acting like a spoiled kid.

"Lawyer Ron is the f'shizzle because..."

He beats up on nothing competition and while he's earned a ton of money he'll fold up his tent and wait for Oaklawn as soon as he has to battle some of the best horses in the handicap division.

Because the heart of the spring season in Australia is the run up to the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November. No part of the season is more important except for the Easter Carnival in the fall. They ain't gonna ship half-way around the world and miss the Cox Plate or the Cup, just for your entertainment. Their 2yo and 3yo are 6 months younger than ours, so they aren't going to send those.

You missed Elvstroem's win in the Dubai Duty Free?

None of the best horses in the world are in Australia - period....a loss of their racing rpoduct would not affect the sport...period.....they have had no Seattle's Slews, no Mr. Prospectors, No Sadler's Wells, no Bernardinis, No A.P. indys....no Man O' Wars, no Seceretariats, no Dr. Fagers, no Ruffians, no Foregos....no Citations....Do you see where I'm goi9ng witrh this?

You are trying to justify there importance like justifying that the Italian basketball league has any improtance in the world on the grand scle of professional basketball.....it just doesn't...sorry man..

Oh, ad Sumline won the Cox's Plate sveral consecutive years not the MElbourne Cup...got one insignifgicant race mixed up with another....

It still doesn't change the fact that ytou screwed up by thinking we were argueing Danzig's value as a sire instead his value as a sire oif sires......nice try..

Oh, ad I would tell you every word of this to your face as I am typing it on this keypad because it is what I believe is to be true....

BTW, none of those "Australian Greats" impacted the sport around the world.....Northern Dancer, Raise a Native, Storm Cat...those are a few horses that have impacted the sport around the world - including Australia - but Astralia has never impacted anything truly relavent outside of its racing circles - a racing circle that is inferior to most racing markets....

They actually brought in 3-4 guys from Australia to try to talk Graham Motion into bringing Bette Talk Now to the Melbourne Cup because the thought that it would be one of the greatest coups for their racing product....If that phony turf horse would be a sesation in Australia - that speaks volumes to how poor racing is there.....

Have a nice day

The St. Louis Derby was run at Cahokia Downs ... from 1954 at least through the 1960's ... and possibly until 1979 ... when that exquisitely beautiful venue for thoroughbred racing shut its gates.

The race was discontinued ... until Fairmount decided to renew it this year.

Like sands through the gloggles, so are the days of our lives....

But good to see that we are now atleast arguing about horses and not personally attacking each other anymore...


Lawyer Ron is the f'shizzle because... he is! I really like this horse and I hope he does well the rest of the year. I want him to kick some booty!

Yeah ... right ...

... I guess that's why South American horses never race here either ...

... it's that old southern hemisphere time thing.

What a ditz.
