Texarkana:
I think youāre saying this in jest, butā¦ since so many people strongly feel this way, it bears repeatingā¦
They may be superior to you, but if they were purpose-bred for racing, they werenāt āsuperiorā race horses or breeding stock. If they were, you wouldnāt have them. That doesnāt mean they arenāt exceptional for your purposes and am in no way trashing your maresā¦ I know Iād come at someone who trash talked my girls. :lol:
Random aside:
Mr. P is the most fascinating stallion; every day I become more in awe of him. There is this misconception that he threw a prepotent ātypeā that was a carbon copy of himself, wonky conformation and all. But that couldnāt be farther from the truth. His sons and daughters are among the most diverse in the modern breed, with the common denominator being speed. Sure, there are some that favor him strongly or inherited some of his weaknesses, but many of them look like clones of their damsā breeding, just faster. I personally believe the Mr. P get who show predominately Mr. P physical characteristics are a smaller population than those who donāt. Iāve gotten in the habit of basically ignoring him in a pedigree and focusing on who he was crossed with.
Seattle Slew would have faded into pedigree obscurity if it werenāt for AP Indy.
Mr. Prospector sure passed on that ugly head. I know. A pretty head has exactly zero to do with performance. But Mr. P had one of the more unattractive heads Iāve seen among Thoroughbreds.
