Like da judge, I thought you were joking.

Other breeds can't compete because it's an sport for thoroughbred horses.

Anyway, there's no need for you to answer my question.

Shooting fish in a barrel was never a sport I enjoyed.

I am not sure that is you best diction nor is it an answer to why other horses can not compete in horse racing.

Yes, you're right. An "an" instead of an "a" was rather sloppy.

Look, I make a deal with you.

I'll check my posts for their spelling and grammar, if you check yours for the quality of their content.

I can not recall a single comment that i have made on this forum that was not of the highest quality.

You will be happy to know that there is a small wave building in europe for ALL races to be opened to geldings, its highly unlikely to happen in your life time and hopefully not in mine but i dare say it will happen in the next 30 years.

Whatever breed they want, if they ahppen to throw a leg over it and it can run 1200m in 1m5 why should they not be allowed to run it at Randwick ?
