I guess you don't know the horse?  That horse is the worst bleeder you can have.  He absolutely is a gusher.  That's why he wasn't good for Brian B.  Andrew keeps him in the chamber all the time.  He couldn't be in the chamber this week because of Jug detention.  Go watch those races.  He sits right down with an 1/8th of a mile to go because he leaked.  Dexter is the best there is.  He did everything he could.  Wasn't his fault in the least.  If that horse doesn't leak he wins for fun.

Brian Brown horse a bad bleeder, what a shocker.

There is a reason they all bleed.  He doesn't put any miles into them to strengthen there pulmonary system.  He has ten 300pd chubbos rubbing 8 head each.  He has himself and 3-4 riders at best that have to move all those horses.  They go 3 miles at about a 4min clip and go right back to the barn. 

He has become a great person to buy off of if you have the time to leg them up and put the work into them.  I can't really think of a horse he's sold that hasn't went forward or been a bad buy?

correct, i do not know the horse or the individual characteristics of any other horses
just commenting from a visual point of view it looked like he  was in striking position to win both races and got picked off

I think the wonder from down under won just 1 race on that unending card. The first race.

Funny how many on here who hate Yannick, love Dexter. IMO, they do a lot of the same crap, similar styles and errors I feel they are both "overdrivers" way too often. If I were still handing over lines, I'd go to Todd Mcarthy over Dunn. That guy is sharp

You're right Fugs, I think that some people judge performance by color, so they have favorite ones, and some that they dislike. To see if you fall in this category, answer this."Does the driver you like have the same colors as your favorite nascar guy or sports team? Apply the same to the driver who you complain about the most! Be honest now!

For some people, maybe. I hate Nascar.  lol   I judge how they sit a bike, where their hand holds are, use of whip, if they have speed in their wrists and that "it" factor, working out trips, their horses ears spun towards them, and so on,, I dont wore if the wore a solid black robe like Hugh Hefner. One point about drivers, I know I have been somewhat critical of Dexter Dunn. I just dont get the total fascination with him. So, I would like to ask a question of his fans and independent observers. Given his talent, ability to sit a bike and make a horse go, why does he look so "Raw" so often?

Do you have any proof that putting more miles into them strengthen there pulmonary system? I have never heard of that before. I for one would like to see the research papers on this. Thanks

Buddy Gilmour for one was heavy into long sloooow jogging not just for endurance but lung development. He used to tell the boys, "dont bring em back till they're blowing just a bit"

Many people do that Fug. I would like to see some proof of it in writing. I doubt there is any.
