The equine equivalent of doping…it’s cheating.

“This takes away the charm, this takes away the magic of breeding. I like to choose a mare, choose a stallion, cross them, and hope that it will turn out very well.”

Oh, please. Yes, there's a particle of "magic" in it, but the bottom line is money. With racehorses, one crosses them (after the poor teaser stallion has inspired the mare, and gone away thwarted) under careful supervision and proper witnesses, so there's almost no chance of even the slightest injury or mixup; how very magical. There is nothing on the breeder's mind but the dollar value of the foal.

Sure, the darling "babies" that survive birth and are deemed marketable are "charming" -- but if it does not "turn out well," tears are shed for the waste of money, the failed investment. One horse costs an incredible amount of money to produce and maintain, in order to realize a profit, a selling price of six figures or more.

I have seen a lot of failures, solid pedigrees notwithstanding, malformed, or failed to thrive, or dying of infection. Magic of breeding? It's a glorified sausage factory.

I really hate the idea of this kind of genetic manipulation. If it’s done to correct for a severe disability, that’s one thing. Our scientists really need ethics courses. Or maybe just find something else to do.

This topic does not interest me at all. I cannot play polo because I am left handed. They only allow right handed people to play polo. COMMUNISM!!!!!

Norton: (reading his script) I don’t possess a mansion or a villa in France or a yacht or a string of poloponies.

Ralph: (reading from the script) I’m glad to hear…[he stops suddenly then says] A string of poloponies? Where do you see that?

Norton: (pointing) Right there, “a string of poloponies.”

Ralph: That’s “a string of POLO PONIES!”
