Sylvain Filion

[Sunmoon 1219]

Yves Filion has always been the one brother who bought well bred yearlings for 50 years. He’s had many top performers and saved his money . Regardless of the Funtime Bayama stuff he’s had many top horses . How many claimers has yves had in his career .He sells or moves them along . Sylvain has never ever been involved in races like his uncles Rheo , Herve or Henri . He’s never been flashy just steady and always brings you back a horse for next week . He’s not a drug trainer or a race fixer so forget about all your hypothetical reasons why he’s taking some time off .

everyone has their own opinion nd that is fair
i do not know the man and will not comment on him
however do not think the funtime bayama saga is over
i have no idea how much involvement the filions had in his training/suspension
but there is a connection there
weg/standardbred canada etc needs to show action, moreau obviously
they just elected sylvan filion to the hall of fame, do you think that within a year they wanted to suspend him if warranted
if they found cause/involvement they might have suggested he go away for a while
i am sure filion has wanted to go back to quebec, the funtime bayama circumstances might have moved that time up a little
who knows

Yves never claimed horse and never did well with dropping horses into claimers but he did give horses to moreau and i am sure he knew that magic was going to happen but a first time Yves was never a huge improvement,,,,,,,,

When Yves drove at Brandywine Raceway decades ago, his stable consisted of mostly cheap claimers, in the $6000 to $10,000 range, he owned himself along with his partner Jacques Paquet, eventually he was able to upgrade his stable.
