Title: Power Code
Post by: freshlasix on July 22, 2024, 04:40:43 AM
After winning back to back NJSS
with the latest in 1:51:2. Carl Jamieson and the ownership group has decided to sell .
The going rate ???.
Can anyone  put a number on this colt?. 
As a son of  first crop sire, Cattlewash, Power Code has a chance to be the
top of this line.

If Pollock shows interest I would bet that Jamieson would ask him for a Million or maybe 1.25 so he could settle for a cool Million.  Yes, I think that's too much but if his kid likes the colt then he will pay whatever it takes.

nothing wrong
 its all based on ego and payback
if someone thinks the colt can earn back  more than he will cost they are likely going to buy him

Definitely more about ego and because he can rather than payback!

Agreed, i was speaking in more general terms rather than about one specific individual

If you think about it Pollock has to take an interest in this horse.  How did he get his massive fortune?  Solar POWER.  He has to know all the POWER CODES.  ngc3  Seriously though, it fits too well, he has to buy him.

Just looking at this weekends races. Power Code is in the Final and HARRIS is listed as the trainer.  Anyone have the scoop on this? Would a owner change be listed?  We will know when the program comes out anyway.

What do you think the actual price would be?  $250k?
Title: Re: Power Code
Post by: Harness Stats on July 30, 2024, 08:42:06 PM
They are racing for a 240 purse Friday.  Price might depend on what he is staked to, but it should be a lot more than 250.

Kind of getting to be a joke!  Develop one of your own instead of trying to buy the best ready made horse.   They clearly are not looking to turn a profit.

Andrew Harris can't develop Lassie to piss on paper.  They should have stuck to buying ready made horses to begin with.  The shit canned 5 million on babies already and not one can function.

Not sure how all of them are but Millie May Hanover a Bettor's Delight sister to Mirage Hanover is doing OK.  She made the Batte of the Belles final.  The trotter Voguish out of Jolene Jolene has shown ability also.

He must be a hell of a bullshit artist.  They could be making a profit with someone else!
Title: Re: Power Code
Post by: Harness Stats on July 31, 2024, 11:01:29 AM
Why are you concerned about profit? Pollock sure as hell isn't and is having the time of his life.  Maybe not about Funtime so much but that horse still got him into the Pace which he SPONSORED.  I mean if you are worth a billion dollars or more WTF does 5 or 10 million make when you are using it for entertainment and giving your son a legacy.  The dude is in his 70s also, let him do what he wants. His son will run the show within 5 to 10 years.

Ok leave profit out.  They aren't exactly carrying home a truck load of trophies.  That kind of investment should be buying multiple divisional horse of the year honors at minimum!

Out here Virgil said he talked with Andrew they got him for 425k they were asking 450 settled on 425 they wanted a purse split as well and that got taken out . This should be interesting short field maybe they get lucky .

Interesting, that they replaced S Filion on Pollocks horse in the   Battle of the Bells. He had been driving her and she is the favorite.
So bad blood there.

Always a crap shoot with a young one.  May sour after a few starts, may turn out to be a killer.  I like his chance to get a little chunk back this weekend.

Just in NJ as a 3 yo and with the new 4 yo "maturity" the horse (who will only be competing against the same crew that he is already facing, and mostly Cattlewash/Lazarus.. since they will "grow up" with him) will be racing for over $450,000 (if he were to sweep it would be $225k in his pocket.)

  Yes the sale price$$$ was indeed $425K. Andrew Harris is a wonderful trainer ngc3 ngc3
  He finally broke through with another purchase from Carl Jamieson, a now 3yr. old filly Miki Ray.
  I remember for around $200K. Winning a NW1 at Harrah's Philly yesterday in a fast 1:53:2 while
  making her 14th start. The field had a combined 2 for 86 lifetime with earnings of $64,500,
  bringing Miki Ray's earnings this year to 21,785 and lifetime $32,827. not bad for a $200k
  purchase. ngc3 ngc3. Not sure what his deal is with the other two partners, but if he is also
  getting a training fee he is NO Dummy! as people make him out to be. More power to him.

Watched Power Code's last race and he raced VERY "greenly"... blew out a bit on the first turn about 6 wide, but moved nicely when asked.. however, plugs pulled and a bit racky-gaited and looked like he was working for a 27 last Q. 

I have bought a few horses in my time (mostly trotters).. but don't see paying $425k (IF that is what it was) for this horse, even with the "cushion" of up to $225K for NJ races if he controls them.
