Karl better be worried

Highland Kismet is an absolute creature!

I agree. He'd give Karl a run for his money right now.

[Ramone]

Don't want to jinx him but I've never ever seen a trotting colt with so much easy speed. And his manners are absurdly good. Took my breath away.

[TimTimTimbo]

Yep, that some performance.

For starters, he will destroy TCI.

IMO Karl has more speed but it looks like this guy can be disadvantaged and cover extra ground and win in a jog.

Going to be interesting to say the least.

I am sure Nancy will be a little worried.

I think his handiness is the biggest differentiator. Karl is probably faster but it's hard to argue with 26.4 on the end in an absolute jog. And I think if Karl goes through the first quarter that horse does, he doesn't handle it nearly as well. Not that he's hot, just not as square-gaited as this one. Kismet colt gapped the gate, 4-wide in first turn, hit the front and sat there as quiet as an old amateur horse.

Looks to be one the nicer 3yo colt trot crops we've had in a while.

Yeah, that's a pretty good assessment. To do that after only 4 starts.

karl needs a driver

karl needs a driver

Agreed 👍

If this colt is half the horse you guys are making him out to be, McClure should be hung from the rafters by the bettors after getting this colt beat in a NWs of 2 a few weeks ago. TCI is fucking terrible but at least he’s only lost to Karl.

Canadian colt outstanding

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

Karl will end his career being the greatest trotter ever.

[pocketrocketwinner]

You are all nuts. No chance he gets to Karl

zero chance of that.  Muscle Hill only lost one race and that was his first and planned.  Complete baphoon trained him and he was absolute monster on the track and in the breeding shed.  Karl has Jimmy poking on him every day and never looks 100% sound.  He was bobbly last year and Yannick is driving him very cautiously this yr.  Go look at his last race when Ake rushed him.  Yannick couldn't go to the stick because he was holding him together.  Every driver in the race seen in and knows he is vulnerable.

He may be the fastest thing I have ever seen, but you are correct. He's rarely, if ever, looked 100%.

I don't disagree. He's for sure bobbly. But he's a freak show monster. The Canadian horse will be in trouble
