Harrisburg videos
« on: October 13, 2023, 05:22:54 PM »
I watch lots of videos.  Over and over. Then I look at them in the flesh.  Then I give the #s I like to my trainer.  We both have to like them.  I usually buy just 2 maybe 3.   I have learned to cross off all Winbak yearlings.  Why ??  They wait until very close to the start of the sale tp put them up.  By then I have enough sorted out to get what I want.  By doing that it makes my selections much easier.

I looked at a Winbak Fear The Dragon filly at the Lex sale. Liked the page, liked the video. They bring her out and the first thing I see is this huge bruise on her head between her eyes. I mean huge with six fresh stitches in it to keep the gash together. I go -- " How the hell did that happen, in the truck on the way here?"  All I get is a bunch of shrugs -- then one guy twenty feet away walks over and says -- It happened in the stall.  No way I believe that -- I've never had one smash their head up like that in a stall. Kicker is she sold for $23,000.

  • Sweet: The fact of the matter is the win pool on Beau Jangles was I believe a negative pool,  his real odds not 1/9 but 1/99.  Enough already, we're the real patrons of thius F'ing sport, many of us also care for these animals despite the best don't want drugs and whipping, abuse.  Competition yes!

  • Lockedin with Pace: Robust Hanover was a very small horse driven by William O'Donnell. In fact the late Stan Bergstein used to refer to him as the "little peanut".
