2yr old filly “Papi Grad

[Here they come]

Wow, She is best 2yr old I’ve seen this year. Her first 2 starts at meadows and pocono were jaw dropping. For sure, most impressive first start on a baby I’ve ever seen.  I watched her live at Pocono on Sunday. She was pacing out of her skin at wire. Brett miller couldn’t pull her up after the race. She went around track again to get to winners circle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any horse ever do that. Can’t wait to see what she can do on a mile track. Very special horse.

Very early but she looks great right now!

awesome gate too. Now the big question. HOW MUCH DOES POLLACK/HARRIS PAY FOR HER

600 k was turned down

[The Unstable]

Papi Grad is not staked very high this year.  No Breeders Crown.  Has PASS and International and Bluegrass.  Next year of course will be staked to the moon.  600K could never buy her, has to be in 800-1 million range.  Is she worth that financially, maybe not but just the idea (and i do mean idea now)  of owning a potential all time horse is extremely hard to price in.  It is every owners dream big or small.  Still there is a very long way to go,a and things could change on a dime,  but that's how impressive she has been.

NO MATTER THE PRICE, I SAY POLLACK WILL OWN HER SOON. FROM HIS INTERVIEW,HE WANTS TO OWN ONE OF THE TOP 3 IN ALL CLASSES. PLUS HE WANTS TO EXPAND HIS BROODMARES, THIS ONE IS A NATURAL FOR HIM

[Harness racer]

I'm sure there is a price.  Would they turn down $750k? 1mill?  Hard to turn down money in the pocket.  The horse has several owners, so not sure what their price would be...unless they are all in on the ride with this one.

[The Thorn]

She's in on Sunday race 10 in a PASS at Pocono.  Should be no problem to continue her dominance.

51.1 again last night won by 6 in a glorified training mile. Might have paced 50 or better if asked as it was just that easy.

[hammer0419]

I thought she was  not as good gaited as before. Have seen this show with Carter before. No happy endings.

He did essentially win the Meadowlands Pace although it wasn't a happy ending.  He gets more from cheaper yearlings then most, but yes at times can be hard on them. Just won A BSS leg with Mr Mcdragon 40K purchase.  won another leg with mare who was 42K , Papi Grad 47K, another BSS leg with homebred, and Divine thing won a KYSS, PASS leg and was purchased for 30K. Also won a TSS leg too I believe paid 25K for.  He does not have a 2yo that cost over 47K I think. Pretty good year so far but you are correct it can always fall apart quickly.

Shouldn’t they let the fans get a say in this too and perhaps 15% of the vote?We watch the races and get a different viewpoint of watching the races that the ones that vote here get.
