Guest,

As I have said before, if you are happy with the way your methods "found" RB for his last two races why should my complaints be of any concern? I sincerely wish you good luck as I think you will need it.

As you are the only person I know who claims to have cracked the mysteries of winner finding or believes himself to have solved the legend of the "missing link" I shall leave all demonstrations of winner finding to yourself. You seldom disappoint, even when you drop your clangers the spectacle of you juggling your c/f horses is highly enjoyable.

Form can be made meaningless by human hand. Form can be engineered to appear what it is not. That, put simply, means that form is not reliable. Your methods will work when all the form is reliable, but like the concept of Utopia, that is a rare event. Even worse for your methods is that even when the form is valid they can still miss what is happening.

If you wish to discuss your genetic theories feel free to do so on the Sires view thread, though you will be surprised to learn that genetic inheritance varies from species to species and is as different between humans and horses as between humans and fruit flies.

If I am to understand your last contribution, do I take it that you want me to stop using headlines on my posts?

Am I also to understand that I should only contribute if it is in praise of this thread? That all criticism should be self censored?

I am also at a loss why you want to question the Sires thread on the vdw one, perhaps if it is not too much trouble you could clear these points up.

IMP,

I ve not read this article but I presume it deals with cell damage in a living organism.

Breeding deals with the way an organism aquires its traits. In horses racing ability seems to be linked to the Y ('male') chromosome at least in distances less than 2 miles, above that, principally NH racing the damsire seems to aquire more importance. Other than this I am afraid I have difficulty in understanding the process.

Guest,

You have me at a disadvantage as I am not ashamed to say where I am.

Once again you seem to regard ex-patriots as somehow inferior, perhaps this time you could tell me what your grievance is about my location. Though I am at a loss to understand what my longitude and latitude has to do with my opinion of Rooster Booster.

WP,

If you look at the time of my post on the RB race yesterday, you will see I realized that I had to make my comments before the off otherwise my point wouldnt be taken seriously if made later. I might as well have posted it in the Baghdad Telegraph!!

My main consideration about VDW is that it is an enormous mistake to think that form is entirely decided by the horse and as such if decyphered will reveal the winner. The human mind is responsible for the biggest part of a horses form and as such it is as complicated as the motives it hides.

However good you become at reading form it will mean nothing if you fail to see when it has been superceded by other circumstances.
