Karl - What's the excuse now?

[Miguel_Sanchez]

So Nancy says he scoped sick after KY Futurity and now after BC Elim?  She didn't scope him after he trained prior to BC?  So he was good after he trained and then sick for BC or you raced him sick?  Why not just come clean and say "He can't trot any faster than this and he's sore and we can't patch him together anymore" I would love to know how mad Adam Bowden has to be right now?  I would ask for my money back and send that one packing.

I doubt Adam is mad at all   He thinks everything Jimmy says is the gospel. Hell Adam probably thinks it’s an honor that Jimmy wanted him to have Karl. What Adam needs to realize is the big farms aren’t knocking the door down to get Takter horses even more so now that TDS looks like another dud, that’s why he goes to Diamond Creek
Is Muscle Mass the best stud Takters have had go to stud?  Father Patrick to me isn’t what they hyped him to be and I don’t count Always Be Miki as he got him late in his career. I guess one could say Kadabra but he was awesome with Homer at 2.

i think diamond creek might have more stallions than broodmares???

She's too plump for my liking and I hate her voice.

Takter made Tactical Landing!  Without Jimmy’s work he would have never made it.  I would say Tactical Landing is a great stud and will continue to have some outstanding offspring.

Agree he got Tactical Landing good for a handful of starts before he retired.

And I would say good, not great, sire to date. A couple really nice ones but a good bit of mediocrity under that.

I think the breed is different today, and while there has been dilution, at the same time the horses of today are bred for more and easier speed. Today breaking yearlings is simple, they are mostly broken already, LOL.

Look back in the 70's and where leading stallions came from. Look at the 80's and the 90's. How many stallions did Bill Robinson make---taking into consideration the # of top horses he had? I think it's easier to make a stallion today---not necessarily a good one, LOL---but in the long run, the breed is getting diluted.
