I love African Greys! Extremely smart birds, and yes, you have to watch everything you say around them.

My sister had a green cheeked Amazon for a few years, and he could whistle the theme to the Lone Ranger (William Tell Overture). He could speak in both English and Spanish. He would sit in his cage and call the dog and the dog would come, it sounded just like her.  She had to give the bird away at one point and sent him to some lady on the West Coast that had a breeding program- but right after that she could not contact her to make sure the bird was alright. I often wonder what actually became of him, makes me sad to think that something funny was going on.

They are a big commitment, and they live a very long time, you have to have a plan in place in case something happens to you, just like you do with a child.

Lovely bird, and share more if you can.

After two consecutive losses, especially the way she ran Friday, I can't see RD coming back next year. Bill Mott even said, "Maybe it's time. Maybe it's time."

Fort Larned is retiring to Adena Springs.
Mizdirection and Groupie Doll will be sold; not sure if they'll race again.

The one I really hope doesn't retire now is Will Take Charge. Man, could he be a force in the handicap division next year if he stays in training!

I have suspected as of late that RD's "Mommy time" hormones may be kicking in, she may be heading to someone's court soon.

All About Karma was second, best of the rest http://www.equibase.com/static/chart/pdf/PRX110313USA3.pdf
Partyonthepatio was third http://www.equibase.com/static/chart/pdf/WO110313CAN1.pdf

None that I see for today.

Grand Pride was second, although it looks like the first placed horse won by over 16- but still hit the board.
Proud Image was 7th, early speed and folded, was claimed

Sin Compromiso(ARG) 4 0-0-1, was third last time out.

Good luck to our runners today, and come home safe

Ha, just saw that- and we need the beating a dead horse one as well.

Seriously? I thought that might be in bad taste, but I do have one. 

It is, but in certain situations, when someone cant let something go, it seems to work. Actually, this one is better

WOW and LOCAL NBC has Breeders Cup on SPorts = what do they report and show video of??

BC Classic

Breakdown in Juv Fillies

DQ of She's A Tiger

MUCH more focus on the negative than the Positive - and BC and horse racing get more Black eyes = 

But that is always the way, isn't it?  Don't be surprised to see ranting and raving from the Petards- as per usual.

Harlington's Rose was 4th, picked up another 12K for the bank
Stra. Aleidy C. Won ! Chart is not available yet, so don't know by how much- and video has not been posted as of now. Will post once up
Run a Dubb Dubb was 9th, chart says this one was hard ridden, but no real response
Harlings Darling was 7th, wide and flat for whatever reason
Lightnin Fast Girl was a nice third in this test, steadied and went on nicely  http://www.equibase.com/static/chart/pdf/PEN110113USA5.pdf
