Ridecamp: Re: [RC] OD's 6th in the 50 was in meat pen 6 wks ago?

    I did not crop the post listed below because it has been a few days and
most might have just looked over it.  I guess I have saved it and looked
over it a few times because something is bugging me about it.
    I guess what is bothering me about it is that a horse 5 1/2 weeks from
an auction is running 6th in the OD?   Just doesn't give me a good feeling.
We talk here about LSD's, conditioning, correct feeding and the time it
takes to make "a top endurance horse".  I'm not to sure this is such a "neat
story".  (if this is true)
    Did anyone else pick up on this?
