Cheaper company. This is the best answer. If the horse is short or not getting all of their air the trainer should have already known that - so the answer is to drop them in class. Depending on the horse it could also be an option to run them LONGER. If a horse HAS to have the lead but will relax o...

Re: IHA at stud

I was reading Pedlines by Ellen Parker and she doesn't like his pedigree at all-3x RAN among other weak sire lines. :D Ellen Parker is one of the dumbest people on earth though, and she has never had any real involvment in the thoroughbred breeding industry. She just posts things on the internet. H...

I'd head to Ocala for next week's June sale. Some who didn't sell earlier this year, or who got scratched over a minor issue, will be in there and it also gives you a chance to talk to consignors who might have something on the farm that didn't sell. If they're not in the June sale I'd say that most...

I'm thinking you should be running not walking straight over to winstar and breeding her to Distorted Humor, I'm sure they'd be thrilled to give you a complimentary season simply because of the family affiliation. He can't. Due to a windfall from a Nigerian Prince who e-mailed me, I've purchased Di...

What? That the horse came in last place in her first race? Yes. But that wasn't what it's all about. I said it wasn't a Hollywood ending. We just have to hope that she improves as she gets more experience. I personally was glad to see the part about Billy Turner and that he's still training. I wish...

Seriously?

Everyone is talking about patterns and linebreeding and no one is asking why would you breed a decent mare like this one (or any mare) to Total Command?

No black type, claimed out of his last for a nickel, small number of foals of racing age have done nothing?

Exactly. The 'market value' of horses is often much less than the claiming price they're running for.

The horse was running for $7,500 claiming at the end so I think the last poster was right on.

Clearly you've overpaid for this dud you're trying to flip as a stud.
