Title: Engblom on Ongait
Post by: Weirwolf on June 02, 2024, 05:50:20 PM
Every horse his owners put for sale on their they end up buying back. It’s happund a bunch of times but they keep doin it over and again. They havunt learnt that nobody wants to buy off a guy on a 2 yeer apeal?

owner of River Ness was the high bidder at $51,500.  No sale, Now horse is being offered on a Facebook page for $60,000.  Someone will get him for $50,000.

I told the owner that it will be hard to get the $60k and he said he will continue to buy them back.
he says,

"everyone I talk to complains about how they can’t find good horses in good form and when one comes up they won’t pay for it, the horse is pacing miles consistent in 149 and 150 pacing home in 25.3 but he’s not worth 50-60k? Per conditions these horse well and people would be getting a 5 year old at the best time in his career that requires zero vet work and has an amazing attitude. I’ll buy them all back if I don’t get what there worth the last two I bought back both wired the field in there next start after the auction." "Show me a horses lines that’s never been in a claimer worth 60k that are so much better then his."

Bigger question. Why would someone look to sell such a fine earning overnight racehorse?

Don't know owner but he is a financial moron.  turning down 10K to spend another 6-7k in training bills per month is retarded!

River Ness is not worth $60,000

Acting like his last 30 races never happened before his recent rebound in form is ignorant

This it what bothers me the most. If everyone knows why are the Comission not all over his barn ? Out of competition testing ?

Out of competition testing would prove to be a waste of time.  He is using a form of EPO which is NOT detectable in any of the testing that the commission utilizes.

That horse at pocono was racing at RDC for 4K purses and goes in 1:50. He’s making mockery of the game

THE HORSE ON ONGAIT WAS RACING AT RIDEAU AND HAD WON 7 OF 8.  WAS REAL AND DOMINATED LESSER THERE.  IF YOU WATCH THE RACE YOU WILL SEE A MIGHT FINE ANIMAL AND THE TRAINER THERE WAS A HAY AND OATS GUY.  THIS IS A 147 PACER.

I disagree.  The horse was pacing 55/56 at Rideau. The horse is out of Jimmy Freight one of the worse sires around.  Before this none had paced better then 52 ever.  I once bought a horse out of Rideau that paced 52 there and he was a 15 claimer.  Thought they way overpaid and commented to my friend that the only people who would pay that much have to give to a questionable trainer. . These guys know almost everything they buy goes forward.  It is almost always the same owners.

gotta love this one.  guy gives horse to Engblom, tells you horse improved dramatically and writes "Please don’t contact us saying what he was before we got him because it is irrelevant." 

Horse was claimed for 15K, March 4, made 50K and now listed for 55K starting.  I might say that is relevant.

Maybe irrelevant to the seller, but not to us buyers , the horse will go backwards for 90 percent plus of trainers.   

Good luck, the market will bring what it brings.

Gotta love the opening statement "We followed this horse for years until we were finally able to obtain him"  If this is true then why TF are you selling him considering how well he has done and how good you say he is?

Auction just closed.  No sale
