http://pedigreemusings.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Pedigree Musings: Thoughts on Thoroughbred Pedigrees. Thoughts on thoroughbred pedigrees from an amateur fan of pedigree analysis. Warrenville, Illinois, United States. I am an amateur thoroughbred pedigree enthusiast who has always wanted to write about thoroughbred pedigrees but, frankly, have not had the appropriate venue to do so. I am NOT a consultant but only an avid fan of pedigrees like, I am sure, many of you. As many fans do, I actively read the Blood-Horse. Magazine, the Thoroughbred Times.

Opinions are great and when expressed with gravitas and consideration are worthy of attention. Facts, however, tend to get lost in the pablum of the loudest denominator. The disparate organizations, with their panjandrums ensnared in a melee of nugatory and capricious behavior, spend more time bickering over the naming order of coalitions, than on substantive issues. No longer does one have to wade through an endless bulletin board of flames and misspellings, to find the answer to some question posed 5 y...

Mullins sues the CHRB for violating his rights to due process. Such a lengthy suspension would be catastrophic to Mr. Mulins' career as a professional horse trainer.". I wonder if the lawyer felt as stupid writing that statement as he sounds when I read it. I can't imagine the term professional should be used in any context when it comes to Mullins. Two words for you, Jeff. Posted by Wind Gatherer. Well I think that professional cheater applies to ole Mr. Milkshake. Monday, 24 May, 2010. KY Derby or Bust.

Gathering the wind: We fear change
http://www.gatheringthewind.com/2010/04/we-fear-change.html
The locus of my inertia disintegrates after the first five letters of the word. I don't do well in dynamic environments and I require predictability in order to feel comfortable. If asked to deal with change, I assume the fetal position. So I recognize the intersection of confusion we find ourselves facing, on this side of the pond, as it pertains to the synthetic question. All else being equal, are synthetic surfaces inherently safer? I have no idea. Where does it all tie in? Debate misses the point.
