Karl new equipement

who races good horses on a half mile track, especially trotters

So Karl is only going to race on 7/8 or mile tracks for the rest of his career? So you think that’s going to make him the greatest of all time? Karl would get his bridle jerked sideways if he went up against European trotters like Idao De Tillard, Joshua Tree, or Horsy Dream.

[Miguel_Sanchez]

Karl will get his bridle jerked when he doesn't get the yimmy treatment when he has to go to detention barn.  They need to prick the horse like the old days to prove he's been shocked.

[Brown jug]

yes he will not race on a half
fyi, i never said he was greatest or even one of the greatest of all time
also not sure why the comment on the europe competition, karl is a 3 yr old so hes not going anywhere right now
i am sure the plan is win the big races an then off to stud

[remington]

He definitely is not the best trotter of all time. When Jimmy works on him, I don't think TCI can beat him. It depends on what he is doing to him because of the detention barn.

Karl will be remembered as the greatest trotter of all time.

so Nancy isnt the trainer?

This again? Nancy is there training horses every day. Upu can not prove otherwise cause it's a fact. Of course her Father is involved to some extent.

Ake, for one. As well as anyone who enters the International Trot.

That said, I agree that Karl would in no way get around a half. And as such he will never see one.

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

I'm not saying whether Karl can or can't get around a half but who the fuck cares. He is being managed to return as much cash on the owner's investment. Does anyone know how hard it is to buy a yearling and develop it into a potential Hambo winner. I can tell you the odds are stacked against you and yet people are bashing Karl and Takter(s) who are probably 4-5 to win it Saturday. Will they win? I think they will but it's a horse race and a trotting one at that and anything can happen. There is a lot to criticize about harness racing but to bash Karl or the Takters is ridiculous.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Yes I agree he looked sound tonight.  That means 1 thing - Jimmy went to work with the shock machine and his old favorite osphos.  Jimmy is no dummy he knows where he is off and can put the patch on for a couple of starts.

Pretty lame right? You screamed lame since the colt debuted. Went from completely lame to sound, and from Jimmy not knowing to knowing. You bashed the horse and the trainer pretty good and now you back-peddle. Hell of a dancer you are. LOL.

This colt is going to be favorite to win the Hambo----the Hambo!----and you bash both continuously? Wow. So if he gets beat, you stand on all your bashing and say I told you so. But, if he wins you stand on your claims that Jimmy figured it out, did whatever he did (legal or not legal----maybe you should clarify your aspersions and accusations)----and downplay the fact that he won the Hambo. At least your consistent, LOL.

AND !!,   He is racing back in 7 days.  !!,
Too bad Ake’s horse drew the 10 hole and didn’t make the big dance.  If Karl draws outside the 6 he is in big trouble.   

[remington]

I like Karl but he has something going on with his feet or ankles he is a good horse but not the greatest ever.

And that is exactly why harness racing is dying. Race a few big races than off to a farm never to be seen again. That is no way to build a fan base.

Only racing at three. Only racing on a half. He will be forgotten.
