[RC] Man O' War - k s swigartRenie said: i resent the fact that the same name can now be assigned a different horse after a set number of years. I am hopeful that my all time favorite, Man-O-War doesn't crop up tagged on some $1500 claimer. In the TB world the same name has been allowed to be assigned to a different horse after a set number of years for a long time (and there are also many horses with the same name in different countries, e.g. in addition to the world famous Eclipse, the English horse after whom all the awards are name, there is also an American Eclipse). However, Man O' War will not crop up tagged on some $1500 claimer because the acceptability of registering a different horse with the same name is only allowed if the original horse never won a race (or maybe it's a stakes race) and/or has no registered progeny. Neither of these criteria apply to Man O' War (who is also MY all time favorite:) although I must confess that I might be willing to metion *Ribot in the same breath with respect to great accomplishment). kat Orange County, Calif. ============================================================ I don't think you have to join a gym or buy frilly outfits to get some fitness.
