Title: Betty Clegg
Post by: Lance on September 18, 2023, 08:25:35 AM
 I'm not sure who this trainer is but I don't think i've ever seen a trainer that likes to race two year old's as much as she does.  Don't often see people race 2 yr old 3 and 4 times a week. Good on them if its works.

Long time ago there was an old man in Ny who would race his 2 year olds 25 times or MORE and his 3 year olds 40 times on the NYS fair circuits and Monti and Vernon. Once saw him take a horse off the track after racing, remove the bike, loosen the girth and put the horse directly on a trailer. This was at a fair upstate. After checking the results from each track as I always did, I saw the same horse raced at Monti later that evening. Old timers will remember Ralph wore brownish colors with an orange road sign on the back in the triangle shape of a yield sign. Think he had a son named mike. He was ultimately barred from the business for holding back his crop of yearlings with the assistance of a crooked vet. That's how he raced his babies so much. His "2 year olds" were actually 3 and so on

Yes,used to fudge the breeding dates. I knew Ralph. He was a retired schoolteacher and flew his own plane. He and his wife crashed in the mountains and were found years later.

You guys dont believe this? Are you serious? I don't make stuff up and many of you compliment my posts. I know for a fact that he held back his babies to race horses vs those a year younger and he STOLE thousands that way and was tossed from the business. i only brought this up because of the Betty Clegg thing and the possible similarity. How else do 2 year olds start racing early April and race 30 times with out coming completely apart. he and his wife may be wonderful people off track and he may have died tragically, but he did what he did.

fuguzzi, as far as people go they’re really nice people to me, but I know exactly what you mean with the horses he was like a German staff Sergeant with the horses. 
Great guy, but I wouldn’t give him a fucking mule to train.

It wouldn’t surprise me.  Several years ago, I saw a photo of Rene Allard, Richie Banca, and Nick Clegg having a good time together.

Watched him action for years. "Gruff" is putting it mildly. Very heavy handed with the whip, dragging them around, loading onto trailers 5 minutes after a race dressed and no bath for the horse. Fair races by day and Monti by night with the same horse. again, I did not know him personally, but if Ralph ever cracked a smile on or off track, I never saw it.  Like a vast majority of you, I deplore serious cheating in our sport and talk about cheating - he stole tens of thousands over the years by racing older horses as younger until they caught up with him. He held them back in the field for a whole year.

I find it interesting that most down under horses don’t even begin racing until they are 4 or 5 years old while here we put a harness on babies as soon as their mothers placenta is cleaned off. Don’t you think it is much better for young horses to let them grow up before putting so much pressure on their young bodies? I know many will say the expenses are too much to wait but how do they handle it in NZ and Australia?

Cleggs bought a lot of yearlings at the Ohio yearling sales last year, so the ones that are racing as 2-year olds are mostly those. May be others with date changes; I don't know. So far this year they bought 3 or 4 at the August Blooded Horse Sale and 12 at the Ohio Selected Jug Sale last week. They buy mostly cheaper horses and race them at fairs. Wonder where the money comes from.

The D.O.B. games went out the window more than a decade ago at least! With the onset of DNA testing on foals and the data based records, it would not even be a Longshot! In current times that type of activity would be foolish to attempt such a preposterous scheme! ngc3 ngc3 SMH

Fair enuf   Ralph Sherman goes back 30 years plus. Was just suggesting how they could get 30 starts out of babies. How DO they do it?

Two Clegg 2 year old racing for their 6th time in Sptember

Race 3  Del  In His Time...Including a race yesterday. 5th race this week alone

Race 13  Race 13  Risky Rider   same as above. 20th race this year.

Let's see a thoroughbred race 5 times in 3 weeks.

Not sure if this is abuse or a testament to the durability of the standard bred?

Durability,  T-Breds hardly race a whole year straight before they break down, plus if you were there in person you would see they don't race them hard
