[RC] Being Competitive P.S. - rides2farSomehow it seems to have gotten to the point on the> international scene that to be a winner you go beyond any hint of "fun> sport" and enter the realm of "business of racing". Becomes as interesting to me as a calculous problem. Here I go responding to MY own post! Just an additional comment. I find Pan Ams *very* interesting...the best of our best racing our way...most of the horses are from one or two horse stables owned, trained & ridden by one person. It's just the Dubai thing, buy horses that someone else has winning, get a 100 horse stable, with as many stable boys, pushing to the fine edge of the razor and having one horse that runs an outrageously fast race once....that's not interesting to me. To watch our riders run against them isn't very interesting to me. I don't begrudge them going at all. More power to them. It just hasn't caught my interest. Will I be impressed if we ever win with those odds? Of course. I saw Iron Man at Biltmore 2 years ago so I know Val's been riding him for awhile. I liked him A LOT. He looks like my kind of horse. He's not short but he's not one of those leggy TB looking things either. Looks like he could tear up a mountain course. Go Val & Danielle!
