I think there's two different, but related, aspects of this. Making as much money as you can, the easiest way you can is one side. Building/padding a resume and making a stallion is the other. Who does what and when is subjective, but what is not is that farms and commercial breeders look at certain races as stallion making races. Times change, races change, and so does what the commercial breeder needs to give and sell to their clients. There is no more Woodrow Wilson for 2yo's, and even when there was, in it's last years, it lost a lot of prestige in the eyes of commercial breeders. The purse went from a high of $2.1m to a low of just over $300k (when Captaintreacherou s won it-----in the race's last and final year-----throw out the first year when it was under $300k). But, many still say the best of the best show up. Do they? I am not so sure. The Metro? Yes, I would say more.

Today, with dual eligibility, states SS programs becoming more lucrative, and so on.....there's a lot in the way of alternatives. The LBJ discussion has long been debated by owners, trainers, and commercial breeders. Between the purse, heat racing, draw, the track, and so on, it's been a hot and contentious topic. Other than 2023, where I think the purse was $1m, the purse has always been between $500k and $650k (IIRC). Like I said, hot and contentious topic, LOL.

OMG!!! You are such a Gasbag. Can't you stop writing 25,000 words when 10 are sufficient. You're not impressing anyone dick breath.

seems to describe you perfectly huh fag 

Seems to describe yourself again drew
Sad very sad

1. Undermining Democratic Processes and ElectionsOverturn ing Election Results: Executive actions and supported policies aimed at making voting more restrictive—such as requiring stricter documentary proof of citizenship to register—
   
" stricter proof should be in place now ....  couldn't agree more ... everyone has ID"

2. Attacks on the Free Press and Institutional NormsThe Media as the "Enemy of the People":

"The press has become the enemy of the truth.   All press pushed the narrative that the owners demand."

3. Targeting Constitutional Protections and Civil RightsAttempting to End Birthright Citizenship:

"Birthright Citizenship should be cancelled for anyone convicted of a serious crime.  Send them packing."
 -
- his rhetoric describing undocumented immigrants as "poisoning the blood of our country" have been condemned.     

"I don't condemn that rhetoric.   I agree with much of it.   However, I would focus on the undocumenteds with criminal records.    See you later. "

4. Religious and Ethnic ExclusionThe "Muslim Ban": During his first term, the executive order placing a travel ban on several Muslim-majority nations.

"Thank you.   Why would we allow people into our country that hate our guts, that burn our flag, that wish death on Americans.  We've got enough problems without inviting enemies to dinner.   Opening our doors to hatred, creates racial tensions."

5. Foreign Policy and Democratic Alliances Embracing Autocrats:

"NATO was using America to fund the whole operation.    The UN has become a joke.   
Because of this administration, NATO countries are starting to increase their own defense budgets and if I had my way, I wouldn't give one cent more to the UN.
Are you still upset Trump accepted a soccer ball from Putin!!!"

Someone asked for 3 reasons, I gave 5!

I’ll actually add a 6th-free of charge

The closing of the Kennedy center because Trump can’t have his name on it!
Kennedy was a better person and did more for the country than Trump!
All the world sees is Trump is the biggest whiny crybaby on planet earth!

Thanks for polite and constructive bantering unlike someone else here!
