Bloodhorse – Dick Downey – Baffert Seeks Default Judgment in Defamation Suit
Phil says it’s time for all horse players who are on Twitter (X) to start bashing responding to that fucking asshole Not that @swifthitter.
@swifthitter sure flaps his jaws at lot, but then hides behind his mother’s skirt when the bailiffs come looking for him. When they came to serve him was he in the basement of his mother’s trailer.
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.

Talk doesn’t cook rice.
Chinese Proverb
Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.

Phil has a question:
Was he speaking of Sports Illustrated or Horse Racing Alberta.
Isn’t this the type of behaviour you’d expect from the Minister in charge of Horse Racing Alberta rather than just blindly signing off on the same fucking bullshit that Horse Racing Alberta has been feeding the Alberta Government since the days of the Captain and Tennille.

The Ringer – Adam Nayman – The Best Movies of 2023
Phil was doing a quick perusal of the Stakes nominations at Fairgrounds to see when the nominations for the Gun Runner close when what to his astonished eyes did appear but a Stakes Race restricted to Alabama breds called the Magic City Classic running on December 8, 2023. Alabama doesn’t even have their own state book on the Jockey Club, but they do have a stakes race restricted to Alabama breds. There are only 6 horses entered and half the field is by a sire aptly named Doc n Bubba G out of the same Cryptyoclearance mare Ausbrook.
Phil’s not gonna denigrate the fine state of Alabama for the state of their thoroughbred breeding industry, but Phil got to wondering if Clark Kent and the Undertaker could manage thoroughbred racing in Alabama.
