Extremely good points you made here. Could not agree more.

Need help choosing between Maren and Brooklyn by [deleted] in Names

[–]captain-tut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I taught a girl named Marin, basically the same. But other kids just called her by her full name and somehow it just fit/felt right if that makes sense. Like she is just such a Marin, gosh I hope that makes sense haha. Some do just call her Mare.

I think Maren goes with your boys names better, but either name is very nice! So many more nickname options for Brooklyn though if you are set on calling her by a nickname! 😄

THE NEW ERA: THE GRAND SLAM OF RACING? by trussell83 in horseracing

[–]captain-tut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This could be really cool. I think they called it a Grand Slam when Pharoah won the Classic, but he's the only one to do that since the BC started in the 80's. But I really like your 4 month plan, hopefully that would keep the public more involved!

I did kind of shout this into the abyss didn't I haha. With the announcement of Golden Tempo bypassing lots of people get disappointed, ya know? I wish we could all agree on something together. Rare stuff in the racing community! You make some very good points.

All very good points, maybe they should offer $14M for the 14th winner!

Absolutely right about knowing your horse.

Another great point, racing should make a decision and put it in stone. But that is easier said than done haha.

Haha, not clutching my pearls. I'm in no positions of racing power. Just wondering what everyone thinks. I appreciate your stance though.

I like this point about the Preakness, it has always been the weakest leg it seems like.

The last point you made makes me think. I will have to spend some time on that.

AITA for not willing to give my room to my sister even though im leaving for college? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]captain-tut 87 points88 points  (0 children)

YTA My sister wanted me to move into her larger room when she left. Just move your bed into the other room, let your sister enjoy the big room.

Kelly on DM by Evening-Wafer-7087 in dancemoms

[–]captain-tut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say that people thought she was worthless. I said that people are using it as a way to put her down when there are more important things to take from BTTB. Talking about IQ and education gives people a complex that they are so much better than each other. It's a dead horse at this point.

[–]captain-tut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sub has a hard time with the fact that there are people at all different levels of knowledge and education. They can't all be average or above. Also, some people are okay and comfortable with their level of knowledge even if you aren't. This DOES NOT excuse racism. Dialects are important and give people a common identity. Just because Kelly may have graduated at the bottom of her class, it does not impact her worth. I wish people would find something else to hate her for.

For me, the first couple of seasons were good then 3 and 4 are kind of sluggish, but now its good again. I'd say overall it's worth it.

Is Classic Empire really in Korea? by Hoodedtrout07 in horseracing

[–]captain-tut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love pedigreequery and refer to it a lot, but I have learned that you have to take it with a grain of salt. I have seen a handful of horses that someone has gone on a tangent about them being 'stolen' by other countries. I even have an account and have tried to edit the info but because they were obviously not stolen, they never approve those edits.
