Re: Ky Derby....2010
"I guess I might be racist or whatever it is you want to call me....but since the owner has a name like that I kind of hope the horse comes in dead last..."
Chubminnow, I guess from what you wrote that, if you heard their names, you would also like my Cardiologist to fail; my wife's Internest to fail; my sister's Opthemologist to fail, and good friends Oncologist to fail. They all have similar names and I personally wish them all the success possible in their endevors to help people with medical problems.

Nope Grumpy....what YOU wrote is probably about the furtherst thing from the truth...I pick and choose where I want them ("foriegners" in my opinion) to fail or succeed.
Not sure why you'd call me out like that....it's only a horse race.
Chill...

Re: Ky Derby....2010
Chub, I "called you out" because if you are that prejudiced against the owner of a horse solely because of his name, it follows that you are PREJUDICED against others solely becuase of their names. Look at your original statement again and. if you are honest about it, you should be able to see why I "called you out". Also, your statement that you "pick and choose" about foriegners tell me that you must have preconcieved ideas (prejudices) about foriegners.

Re: Ky Derby....2010
Sometimes I go horse, sometimes jockey.....I'll wait for the mounts, then make my picks.

Re: Ky Derby....2010
Smart horse player Billy...I look at all sorts of things...the horse, the mount, the owner(s), the trainer, whether the horse does well in turf or dirt or slop or what have you...then I go to the window and piss away $10.00 to $20.00 bucks usually, lol...But it sure is a good time!

Would it matter if you found out that Eskendereya's owner has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and if the horse does win, all the winnings have to go to pay off his AMERICAN creditors? I suppose not.. he has a funny name...

Sorry about his luck....I guess he needs to learn to pay off his American Creditors the same way I do...One pay check at a time.
