What's the excuse now??
'You're fooling yourself if you don't think that horse has wicked talent. He's visibly unsound. And you can't drive on a horse that you're holding together. Not sure they can fix it before Hambo, but if they don't I don't see how he wins that.i can't wait to watch the other division - anxious to see how the Canadian invader fares.
One loss this year doesn't doesn't destroy his resume. Takter will figure him out. I was there and I can't be sure because I wasn't sitting behind him but I don't think soundness is an issue, I think the horse is interfering somewhere when asked for speed. I could be 100% wrong but that is what I think. I wasn't crazy about the drive but sometimes a horse forces you to drive a certain way. However, as bad as everyone thinks he looked warming up and racing, he trotted the fastest time in his life and I think if he gets straightened out, he will trot in 48 and a piece and end his career as the greatest trotter ever.
He's not interfering when he goes fast. He can only go fast in the straights because he's not pinching. Go time his 1st qtr and 3qtr. He has walked the turns all year. He's lame and can't be fixed. Jimmy has had every vet in there brother go over that horse. He's probably on so much Osphos and Tildren it's not funny.
Any trainer using osphos or Tildren on a horse younger than 4 is doing damage to that horse--so no way are you correct.-In March 2019, a coalition of 29 Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred organizations , representing 7 U.S. states, banned the use of bisphosphonates in racehorses under the age of 4 (this is an extra-label use of the drugs, as both are approved only for horses 4 years of age and older). In October 2019, the Maryland Racing Commission went even further, ruling horses of any age treated with bisphosphonates are ineligible to run in any race, and a veterinarian found to have given bisphosphonates to a horse will be suspended for one year. -
