Monticello -- Race 5, gotta love horse racing

[dinkadoo]

I am waiting for the 4th at Gulfstream (waiting to play the 6 horse in the 4th), RTN shows Monticello race 5 getting ready to go, hop on to watch.

Winner wires the field in 1:54.2 at 8-1   

So I thought, lets watch replay from last week and see about this horse. Well last week he was down a class. Sat second all the way around the track, no competition for the winner, and couldn't hold second. Race went in 56.2 and I guess he was beat about 7 so thinking around 57.4 for this steed.

This week - moves up in class -- drops the bomb on the field and improves 3 2/5th seconds or 17 lengths.

More proof it’s a dead game

Now if they only had a guy like Judge Haskell from the Meds to investigate -- watch out as he will crack the whip 

What are the chances the connections of this vastly improved horse get a call from the judges ??

[MCR]

Maybe they got his blood right finally??? Maybe

Since the 60's they would be callin ya in before ya got the picture taken. Have your answer ready. Oh, Let out the hobbles and dropped his head. They don't even pretend to care. Just sit back and get the daily check, no waves.

Sounds like a shoe change to me. Or maybe a new hay distributor

[toothman]

you can only get away with that once...or at least back in the day...

Not sure what they did back in the day--however seems to me that a questionable performance like this-must be met by the judges
who should tell the trainer that unless the horse races similarly in his next start--his entries wont be accepted in the future.

When I raced in Ohio, I had a couple of times that I got called in for a good and bad performances.... Never went anywhere, but at least I knew they were in the booth watching.

no where in the post did u mention the most important thing
the horse was cliamed his last start

hence the form change
and yes. horses are allowed to change form off claim.
thats why people claim in the first place, because they think the horse can do better


again, its amazing that with all the problems in this sport people point out the things that dont need changing

Maybe the Meth pissing groom from Nfld wandered over to Monticello to get a new job !

so what your saying is that the new trainer has great gas

Better shoes like first up from the 8 said. 3-4 better equipment adjustments and a new environment to make him/her feel better and more motivated.

New trainer has better Yogurt!

[Harness racer]

Who was the old trainer?  I see Al A. has him now.  Definitely better "feed" this week!
