He paid his debt to society and there fore to me he has a clean slate..
I was just curious because I didnt see anything to the extent of anyone knowing (as in the authorites) where he was and I was just asking a simple question... Sorry if I offended anyone .....

It's okay, Jess. You aren't being offensive. Sometimes in heated threads, people's patience gets thin and they react in ways they normally wouldn't. Don't sweat it, kiddo.

A bit more on my approach to human/equine athletic partnership can be found in this interview with my friend Dr. Chris King. Yes, we have several other stallions in our development program here at present - though to be honest Capone's career ends up being the focus of much of our tactical planning.

haha.. thanks for calling me "kiddo" ... Thursday was my birthday and I am half way to 50 lol

its just that I couldnt get the link to work so I ask the question maybe the link worked for everyone else... but it just kinda got to me that they thought I was attacking.... (btw THATS NOT ME AT ALL) I was just interested in everything and trying to figure out what was going on....(which gave me a very bad headache)

All I can say is wow this should be about the stallion not about Doug and all the bashing.. I did bash Doug earlier and then talked with him in PM's and at least he admits to his stupid drug thing and has done his time and seriously hope he learned from this.

Any way any news of how the handsome stallion is doing?

[Iluvmypunkin]

ok all .... I hope everything gets sorted out... I have to go to bed because my 9 month old is going to be up way too early in the morning....

Like I said I am a netural in this situation and to EVERYONE Sorry if anyone took anything out of context....

Hopefully everything will be resolved with this beautiful horse... and I hopes everything works out for the best...

Love to all

Jess

Yes that is EXACTLY why I cannot post the direct proof here. It is not suitable for minors, and so the mods will not allow me to post it.

I just wanted to say that I've admired this stallion for years. He is extraordinary. I hope that where ever he is, he is safe from harm and being treated with care and compassion. I also hope he is returned quickly to his rightful owner.

To the OP - I hope that once the dust settles on whatever is transpiring, your plan of breeding to this wonderful stallion comes to fruition. From the photos I've seen of your mare, I think you would get one heck of a horse.

To Mr. Spink. I don't know you, but I have watched you complete some pretty amazing rides on Capone. FWIW, as a rider, you certainly have my respect. Now that I know you are the person responsible for importing and campaigning Capone, you have earned additional respect in my eyes. After reading the many pages of unsubstantiated claims, theories, hearsay and.....just plain childish remarks, I have to say you have far more patience than I.

[Evrgrn Mercury]

again lets get back to talking about the stallion not Doug .. as the horse is important part and how he is doing etc.

To anyone who would like links to pictures of Capone on a website that it would be inappropriate to post here, please PM me.

It's so easy to feel involved on the internet on a forum, but at the end of the day, whatever is going on with Capone I, his trainer and everyone else associated with both involved doesn't really affect me. I'd like to say I don't care about this whole ordeal, but this is all to interesting on a rainy day to ignore.
This is meant to be a neutral question...so please don't take offense, but why, Mr. Spink do you think that you need to come onto HGS to defend yourself? And if you aren't here to defend yourself, then why are you here? I'm just trying to understand.

UMM that question would apply to you too then
why are you here?
its the same as why he is here and why I am here and why everyone else is here?
is it fair to make accusations with no PROOF?
no if you got those accuations made on you would you defend yourself?
