The super horse has bell boots now. Still tinkering with the lamo
-
Looked super warming up, raced huge, does not appear to be lame
-
When did Karl miss 6 weeks?
Nancy making things up in the winners circle
-
Yes I agree he looked sound tonight. That means 1 thing - Jimmy went to work with the shock machine and his old favorite osphos. Jimmy is no dummy he knows where he is off and can put the patch on for a couple of starts.

I think she meant he had one start in 6 weeks
-
That's what she said, 1 start in 6 weeks, he was short last time
-
He and TCI both looked good. Maybe the matchup everyone wanted before the season will take shape next week.
-
Karl will be remembered as the greatest trotter ever.

Will he be invited to race the elitloppet in sweeden in 2025?

Give me a break. He lost a race after romping 2 weeks prior
-
She is supposedly training the horse and now makes excuse he was short due to not racing ? Get a life. Nice horse but not the greatest ever by a long shot.

Agree
-
Yimmy(the Master) prolly jus added the bell boots to cover up the shave marks on those freshly done coffin joints.!!

You are delusional. The way Yannick holds him together. He would fall down if he raced on a half mile track.
-
who races good horses on a half mile track, especially trotters

So Karl is only going to race on 7/8 or mile tracks for the rest of his career? So you think that’s going to make him the greatest of all time? Karl would get his bridle jerked sideways if he went up against European trotters like Idao De Tillard, Joshua Tree, or Horsy Dream.
-
Karl will get his bridle jerked when he doesn't get the yimmy treatment when he has to go to detention barn. They need to prick the horse like the old days to prove he's been shocked.
-
yes he will not race on a half
fyi, i never said he was greatest or even one of the greatest of all time
also not sure why the comment on the europe competition, karl is a 3 yr old so hes not going anywhere right now
i am sure the plan is win the big races an then off to stud
-
He definitely is not the best trotter of all time. When Jimmy works on him, I don't think TCI can beat him. It depends on what he is doing to him because of the detention barn.

so Nancy isnt the trainer? ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

This again? Nancy is there training horses every day. Upu can not prove otherwise cause it's a fact. Of course her Father is involved to some extent.
-

Ake, for one. As well as anyone who enters the International Trot.
That said, I agree that Karl would in no way get around a half. And as such he will never see one.
-
I'm not saying whether Karl can or can't get around a half but who the fuck cares. He is being managed to return as much cash on the owner's investment. Does anyone know how hard it is to buy a yearling and develop it into a potential Hambo winner. I can tell you the odds are stacked against you and yet people are bashing Karl and Takter(s) who are probably 4-5 to win it Saturday. Will they win? I think they will but it's a horse race and a trotting one at that and anything can happen. There is a lot to criticize about harness racing but to bash Karl or the Takters is ridiculous.

Pretty lame right? You screamed lame since the colt debuted. Went from completely lame to sound, and from Jimmy not knowing to knowing. You bashed the horse and the trainer pretty good and now you back-peddle. Hell of a dancer you are. LOL.
This colt is going to be favorite to win the Hambo----the Hambo!----and you bash both continuously? Wow. So if he gets beat, you stand on all your bashing and say I told you so. But, if he wins you stand on your claims that Jimmy figured it out, did whatever he did (legal or not legal----maybe you should clarify your aspersions and accusations)----and downplay the fact that he won the Hambo. At least your consistent, LOL.

AND !!, He is racing back in 7 days. !!,
Too bad Ake’s horse drew the 10 hole and didn’t make the big dance. If Karl draws outside the 6 he is in big trouble.
-
I like Karl but he has something going on with his feet or ankles he is a good horse but not the greatest ever.

And that is exactly why harness racing is dying. Race a few big races than off to a farm never to be seen again. That is no way to build a fan base.
-

Only racing at three. Only racing on a half. He will be forgotten.

Managing the horses this way is only killing the long term future of the sport.

There is no fan base. There are no fans. Harness racing isn't major league baseball. Harness racing is a gambling game. It is dying cause wagering has been ignored while trying to cater to "fans"

The reality is exactly the opposite. Trying to expand wagering in the face of ever expanding gambling options is a losing strategy. People can pick up their phone, tablet, laptop, or other device or go to a nearby casino and place bets with the outcome in seconds or minutes and they can do this 24/7/365.The can place bets on the next play or the next at bat. As long as harness racing think like the thinking you presented, harness racing will continue to decline until it disappears.What do you think will happen when the government welfare ends? Will the industry survive on purses paid 100% by handle? What happens if decoupling becomes a reality?

Racing has marketed itself to fans for decades.
Transvestite dance shows
Corn eating contests
Weiner dog races
Camels
Ostriches.
Fancy drinks
Hat contests
How has all this worked out? Handle has plummeted.
Racing is completely overmispriced in the gambling landscape. There is no possible way to make racing succeed or even stay put without fixing the wagering part.
It is not a spectator sport.

I think they said that about Muscle Hill too.

Trying to see racing as a gambling product in the face of an every expanding number of gambling products is a losing strategy. Expanding a product in a saturated market is almost always a losing business strategy.

How many people go to the track or watch races turn it on to see Muscle Hill? Muscle Hill is not bringing in any new customers.

Yes he was, his first crop was also a HUGE flop ..

One thing is clear. The Greenshoe's love a sloppy track like he did
4 winners at The Red Mile (Sunday I think). They loved the off track.
