Based on what? Out of the money again this week. The only question is how far back will he finish? They won't put him in claimers either. That would be too embarrassing for Croghan. The horse has not even covered the flight cost up here yet, let alone the training and staking and shipping fees.
Croghan might lose owners over this horrendous purchase and import! Embarrasing performances 3 weeks straight. He should go off 70/1 in this series with an outside post.
Bad business deals tend to change things, at that type of purchase level. It would be interesting to know the sale price.
Another few poor outings and this horse will be entered for : NW of a hot dog last 5 starts !!
In a few weeks it'll be: $15,000 claiming price (AE: Levy Series starters with no points (min 3 starts))
In 2011:Murray Brown, the vice president and general manager of the Standardbred Horse Sale, as well as the public relations director for Hanover Shoe Farms, which bred Detour Hanover, said the trotting colt has the makeup to be a champion. “I’ve been at Hanover for 44 years and we’ve sold a lot of trotters in that time and he was without a doubt the finest physical specimen of a trotter that I’ve ever seen,” Brown said. “My all-time most beautiful yearling was The Panderosa. He was called Dead-Eye Hanover when he was a yearling. He was about as close to perfection that I’ve ever seen. (Detour Hanover) is his equivalent on the trot." ----“It will either be the greatest thing that ever happened or the biggest calamity,” a laughing Cancelliere said after spending $825,000 for the trotting colt Detour Hanover, a full brother to 2007 Horse of the Year Donato Hanover. “They could be laughing at me for the next 20 years.”-------case closed on hype and opinions from those who think they know more than the rest of us!
