    I wasn't ignoring you on Steam. I forgot I had it until I got an email about something the other day!

    What is this in reference to @AManFromEarth ?

    When I logged on to Steam I had a friend request from you? Or someone pretending to be you. Idk how long it was on there, as I haven't logged onto steam before now for a few months.

    Oh, no that was me; I sent that a while ago during one of my periodic sending out of Steam friend invites to various PA people. I'm almost up to 200!

    I'm game to game whenever your game.

    Cool cool, I might have more funding and time for games soon so I should be good to go.

    Thinking about getting a proper computer for word processing/video gaming if this job pans out.

    How....how were you pronouncing it?

    More importantly, how are you supposed to?

    Supposed to be eye-core.

    I was pronouncing it more like i (as in ick) core

    Not sure I have ever heard anyone say eye-core.

    I always thought it was ick-cur/ick-core

    Like I know nothing about horse breeding. I know a small handful about theoretical evolutionary selection models, which is where I drew most of my post from, but I know zilch about horse breeding terminology or whatever

    So you and I are on opposite ends, and were originally arguing about something completely unrelated which was a misunderstanding, isn't the internet great? :rotate: ;)

    Tomlinson ratings are a formula derived value for how horses sire and dam sire ran on given surfaces.

    Handicappers are oddsmakers that take variables and try to quantify them. They're the original soft science men.. I've aspired to be one.

    Hilariously, a really huge part of my vocabulary is like this so I mispronounce things constantly.

    Another interesting tidbit about the horse racing business is a lot of the best studs and the current best crop of high class studs are outta Europe, south america and the U.A.E. I've heard a lot of complaining about old time horsemen complaining about all the oil money driving up the prices beyond viability.

    I'm jealous. I've never even been able to sit on one because of fat ass. I grew up near where a lot of Charlie Whittingham horses used to train, so I've always known a little about horses, it was just the last few years my interest really got piqued. This year is the first I've done any regular meet following.

    Like, I never got into sports until I stated betting in them, and one of my favorite parts of the horse industry is how integral the gambling is to it, and how approachable it is. Like, if you have the drive and desire, you can get a horse in the derby. Orb was a homebred/backyard breeder!

    I have to say it's 1) depressing to write-off a horse

    and 2) it's hilarious to see "stud fees"
