absolutely......

Totally off topic, you have any favorites that are currently racing? what about you @Pure Steel
None that are current.
The "secret" to my success was knowing certain horses.
My favrorite back i89n the day was Ladies Secret. I watched her 1st and her lst.
She was a prohibitive favorite in her 1st race and bet her anyways.
Daughter of Secretariat.
I remember the end of her career. D Wayne Lucas entered her in a handicap where she was to carry 126 pounds.
She refused to load in the gate. She was too popular to beat in front of the crowd.
They had to scratch her. Best mare I have seen......

I mean... this sounds like one of those pre-racist threads. Like you come out and say the QB is washed up... and then the next post is "Black QBs just aren't good." And then you do the whole, "White guys can't play cornerback" thing. :whistle:

I saw her win twice at Monmouth Park, great shore track...love it there....She was a beast, strong frontrunner with tons of heart....They named a race after her there as well....The 1987 Haskell was as good as horse racing could get, I was there as well....Lost Code, Alysheba and Bet Twice turning for home in a blanket finish.....Alysheba blows the turn and misses by a long head to Bet Twice in stakes record time......

I have been assuming you are a dude. Wierd or not, I'm not interested. Have you got a sister?

Well she's going to charge at least 5 figures for Captain Buzzkill here....

im jealous you guys got to see those greats.......

ive watched some of her races though....she was special.........there have been some amazing females ........

like i said i think guarana is a freak......lightly raced.......she would of won her BC.....

But RA was a treat to watch, zenyatta was amazing........songbird, beholder, even royal delta..... goldikova, winx, zarkava.....some of those euro's were wicked.

I always like a dominant female horse......the connections also tend to let them race a bit longer..........

i just watched a lady's secret race , spectacular

Concern goes on to win the BCC and Holy Bull’s trainer Jimmy Croll gives him a much needed rest, true horseman, cared more about the horse than money.....outside of a bobbled start in the Derby and injuries, pretty amazing record......He was sitting right off Cigar when he broke down in the Donn, was loaded for bear and learning to rate.....what a shame no one got a chance to watch those two run to the wire.....Great story behind Croll and the owner, good read

Couldn't damn near everything said in the OP be said about any past his prime QB with the possible exception of Rich Gannon and his Oakland revival? Though QBs don't usually start declining at/or before age 31. All that running and everything that came with it was bound to catch up with Cam at some point.

I remember a Brazillion mare you never heard of.
Bought in Brazil and brought here to race.
She was entered into a Sprint Championship with the boys.
Skeptics said she would not be able to run with the sprint champions in the race, never mind the boys.
She ran the 6 furlongs in 107 and 3. Every pull a winning one. I have never seen any horse run so straight and true.
Wish I could remember her name. I'm sure she went to breeding......
