Pedigree Query

hi Mahubah Have to agree with Tap. I was at the select session and thought some pretty well-bred, nice-looking youngsters were going for low prices. I don't think it's going to be pretty at KeeSep for anyone but those selling the cream of the yearling crop and those hoping to buy at bargain rates. R...

hi guys, Thought it might be interesting if all shared some thoughts/impressions/opinions re which...if any...young sires with runners are capturing the imagination. For example... Uncle Mo seems to have captured the imagination of many. Yes, he's been afforded a great opportunity by Ashford/Coolmor...

hi guys... Very fast sprinter, but never really faced much quality in his 5 lifetime starts, which (by the way) spanned less than 5 months. Beat ordinary ones going a mile in two small stakes. ($50k purse, 1:37 1/5; 75k purse, 1:36 2/5) 1:08 3/5 when he broke his maiden at first asking (all be it Ju...

hi Shawklit Won...hi Cree I don't find him incredibly remarkable at all. He has A LOT of horses and he seems to get some really well-bred, expensive horses from yearling and 2-year-old sales that run well at 2, but fizzle at 3. I think if you look at the money spent on these horses compared to the m...

hi BenB This will not ever be forgiven within the industry, so probably he took CC down aswell by his remarks. ... Some, if not many, in the industry/game may forgive Coburn...most though will likely not forget what he said post race (and his subsequent remarks/blabber). As for Coburn's so-called ap...

hi TJ He apologized today on Good Morning America....to everybody. I for one accept his apology and wish California Chrome, Coburn, Sherman and the rest of his connections continued success.

hi Mahubah He looked like a tired horse today -- not exhausted, but "over the top," as the old-timers used to say. Blood-Horse also reports that he grabbed a quarter, possibly at the starting gate. He's still quite a good horse and may even be a great one; hope he will compete later in the...

Re: your Dear Breeders Cup People commentary/post...

...Bravo for sharing what certainly seem to be heartfelt life's experiences/thoughts/suggestions/concerns/issues from a guy who genuinely cares, you.

Best to ya.

hi bdw0617...hi madelyn this is what gets me about this. not the fact that people would try to do this. what gets me is that people are so degenerate that they would actually wager on this. :wink: Is it reasonable to suggest...that when it comes to this kinda unconventional (if you will) horse racin...

hi TJ Strong Mandate was up the track... I was not surprised he didn't impress. Havana held off the charge of Honor Code to win by a nostril Honor Code finished nicely, but eight wide turning for home made it very difficult. He certainly isn't a handy horse, but will likely love two sweeping turns m...

hi mini's mom and wasn't mr propsector sort of a runty small unsound horse - saw fernand & diesies at claiborne in l993 - diesies was on the smallish side but fernand was a huge chestnut horse with terrible feet - Mr Prospector was NOT a runty small horse . In his advanced years at Claiborne tho...

hi erins isle At the age of 26 years old Dayjur (the horse that jumped over a shadow) died in Kentucky. The son of Danzig was a sprinter trained by major Dick Hern and ridden by Willie Carson. R.I.P. http://bloodstock.racingpost.com/news/bloodstock/champion-sprinter-dayjur-dies-aged-26/1536747/top/ ...

hi Blue feather FOS, interesting view. Let me poke some holes in this viewpoint in this particular incident. Why try to poke holes in any perspective/viewpoint, when a trip to the racing office may supply you with the information/answers you would like/need to know. This is about your concerns, and ...

hi Blue Feather Thanks TJ. I did not see that. It is still a little confusing not to specify "off turf" aspect of rule but, there it is. It is my understanding the rule is there to address short fields if turf is off. I still think it is an unfair rule that doesn't address the issue. It penalizes th...
