All right the Melbourne results are inviting some debate.

Let me make this clear. We ALL AGREED earlier in the year to INCLUDE results. No matter how much we disagreed with them. So Sarah, you HAVE to put this result on Silent Fury's page. It's not like it's a bad result or anything. It's fair to include these results.

However, Megs, you should have responded to Sarah's points. Sarah, you voiced your points in a VERY NEGATIVE way. You should have been more calm and reasonable when voicing your concerns. This was incorrect of you and you should apologize to Megs immediately. But Megs, it's up to YOU to defend your results. You can't just throw a tantrum and delete your account off of the site. Be the bigger person. Respond reasonably, resolve the issue and move on. Ignore Sarah if you have to. But don't just get away from the problem. You guys need to deal with this.

I'm here to mediate as you do.

For my part, I think Sarah brings up some valid points and that it's only correct to question the results. I've accepted them. But I am willing to support or refute both sides of the argument.

I agree that I responded negatively. I'm sorry for that. And no, the result isn't the problem. Had Firebird and Infinite Warcry taken first and second, it wouldn't have bothered me becsuse they have had the necessary work put into them recently. BUT I'm not going to just let this go. You say Silent Fury was lacking from his workout because it was unfinished. Whipped Cream's workout wasn't even started. It's been more than two game months since her last one. I think you made the assumption that it was completed without checking and it certainly wouldn't be the first time this has caused an undesired result for my horses. The sprinter series, for example, when you tried to tell me three workouts of Special Edition's had been done by Alexia throughout the year, which was why he won over Attractive Flight. They had in fact been done by me the previous year. It's things like this Meg, that are incredibly frustrating and unfair. I didn't ask you to leave the game. I asked you to judge properly or not at all. Also I think you've judged this group of horses too often. Please see where I am coming from.

i realised that whipped cream's workout wan't done, so i judged from the last oe. i felt she was a strog horse ad had a good chace i this race despite the fact it's oly this year really she's come ito her ow. you used to ow her so you should uderstad that she did have a lot of potetial. silet fury is a great horse, i just did't feel like it was his day. he cat wi every race he does, ad i agree ive judged that selectio of horses too much. silet fury ad fireird were eck ad eck the whole way through the race a this made it hard to separate them oth ecause they are oth good orses. i just didt feel like it was his day ad if it was aother day i wouldve judged differetly.

take paradise islad for example. ive ee workig my utt off with her ad she still gets eat y three year olds ad as much as ive worked her it ist chagig.. silet fury has had a good seaso ad i dot wat to seem like ive bee a burde to that. all horses have off days ad today wast his day.

sorry my keys aret workig properly.

To be honest, I find that hard to believe. Especially since you added the comment aboit working hard with Paradise Island. Why would you give the win to a horse that hasnt had the necessary recent work over horses thathave when you know what its like to work hard with a horse and get nowhere? I just don't understand.

[Deleted]

It's just a game - not like a horse came third in the Melbourne Cup in real life that's won it every other time. Not every horse is perfect. Zenyatta was almost perfect, 19 for 20, but obviously there's going to be one horse that defies all the odds. I don't want to argue about this, but if you really must, I'll re judge it. For everyone elses sake aswell as your own.

[Snowflake]

You're avoiding my questions. I'm not asking for it to be judged again. I'm not claiming that Silent Fury is perfect. And I certainly know this is a game. I just want answers.

Why was Silent Fury "lacking" from his unfinished workout, when Whipped Cream did not have one since August Week 3, whereas Silence had workouts for Aug Wk4, Sep Wk2, Sep Wk4? Why do you put so much work into Paradise Island and expect her to win for it but ignore the work others put into their horses when judging?
