TCI made a break at the start last time out and Papi Grad still undefeated and racing PASS at The Meadows on Friday. She’s in with a nice Burke 2yo. She could be tested!
The best 3 yr old pacer is in action on Sunday too. Legendary Hanover goes to another 5/8 for the EBC at Tioga. These should be a lot easier to handle for him.
Karl is following a similar course as Confederate did last year - race in a few top races then hide in the KYSS program.
karl is "hiding in kentucky"where would you like him to race or better yet if you owned him where would you race him
I can't believe Mike didn't rip you a new one for speaking badly about Karl LOL. For what it's worth I don't blame them for racing him there. Easy money and easy wins. Then they will bank 200 grand in the kyss final
I am thinking about what is best for the sport. In case you have not noticed, the sport is in serious decline. You cannot build interest in the sport when the best are not racing against the best week in and week out. Most of the states are not going to subsidize racing forever.
We all want the sport to be better! However, when you are racing horses at this level, you manage your own horse first. I would assume that Karl needs points for the 200k final. If this is true, then this is managing your horse. Same for Nijinsky on the pacing side, racing in the Ontario Sires Stakes for 140k (approximately 100k USD). Eventually, the best will meet whether there are common major races up to the breeders crown inclusive.Subsidized racing is irrelevant at this high level.
