Amateur Races??

So long as the horse was not on the Steward's List during 2024 for afib or lameness, he should be able to race up to 3 times/month and win up to a maximum of $25,000 during his 15th year.  Not sure why this has not been considered one of the possibilities for him?  He certainly can go with the MADC horses.

The reason he was scratched is listed as veterinarian.. injured.. per the usta entries and results page.

Which like most usta things, mean nothing..

There's a Facebook thread somewhere that indicates, per the horse's groom, he was scratched to guarantee he wouldn't end up at a bad end, and is heading to retirement in Michigan. No idea if that is accurate.

He had no business even entering him in a $5000 claiming race, did he want to get rid of the horse that badly?
