2.3 million piece of deuce.. As I said what kind of moron would buy a horse for 2.3 million
|
Obviously I don't know how good the race will turn out to be, but I'm certainly happy with Bernardini's 5th winner. The time was a lot slower than Bulldogger's, but I don't need to see a 2 year old by Bernardini running that fast. He's speedy - not sure how far he'd want to go, but we'll find out.

I can't wait to bet against this horse next time...he practically crawled on the lead and beat a bunch of horses who are going to be bet againsts next time out. A McPeek no hoper who was 31-1 was 2nd in this group. Hell, 15K NW2L Filly and Mare Claimers set a quicker pace than him...I think this ends up being a big time negative key race.

I played a whacky tri and was sick of my bad ticket structure 11/5,8,9/all/... Anyway the point is, I think the 8 ran well. I also think the 9 will be ok. |

I think there are going to be a few next out winners out of the race. Orsonian ran well with some trouble. Was slammed at the start then rank early as he seemed to not like dirt in his face. When he finally got running he closed well and while he might not have beaten the winner, he was probably second best. He's going to win next out. Magnet Cove got hit pretty hard on both sides coming out of the gate and flew home. Should be dangerous going two turns next time. Brock ran too bad to be true. Fair Whit battled, at least a little down the lane and seeing an improved run out of him next time should be expected. The same could be said for Eltheeb who ran like a horse that wants to go farther. |

Dude just go to the first page of this thread. The 5 is Orsonian - I agree w/ Hoss about him.

If you saw the race 4x, then I imagine you saw everything that I'm talking about already.

On top of these numbers:
Quote:
2010: 3-for-5 ($3.34 ROI) 2009: 3-for-5 ($4.62 ROI) 2008: 1-for-3 ($3.53 ROI) 2007: 2-for-6 ($4.20 ROI) 2006: 0-for-4 2005: 2-for-6 ($4.79 ROI) 2004: 2-for-6 ($4.32 ROI) Since '04: 13-for-35 (37.1% wins) He's also got a very good record with older turf horses at Saratoga going back a long way .. and juiced up his numbers some more with a 17/1 shot winner in yesterdays first race. I wish all trainers were as consistant as he is in regard to the form patterns of their stable. |

Doug, what happens to all of his first out winners though? I know Im getting really frustrated with them. |

If they did - he'd be a training genius. |

Though, after time, it would be harder to sell them I suppose. Freddy had one who was pretty fast and could carry it well for a total cheapie - and the horse could barely even train. How does something like that develop over time? The longer you wait - the faster the sounder ones catch up. I realize the Violette/Klaravich's cost 15 to 20 times more money, but I doubt things are a lot more rosy for the durability of those horses. |
Exactly. . . they could do the same thing with the type of cheap horses Wesley Ward has (I question his strategy too, though). Either spend less and continue to try to win early (with few readily apparent benefits) or spend the type of money you're spending now and try to produce an actual stakes horse or two. Either way, for the sake of RHT's bankroll, change something.

Valiant Passion was bought by Team Valor and given to Pletcher for training.

Another example of why trying to 'read' workouts is useless: RudyRod's $27 winner Saltamontes in today's 2nd race at Saratoga. This filly had all of THREE printed works, a slow 4f breeze 7/21 at AQU, a middling 4f breeze 8/2 at SAR and a faster 5f gate breeze 8/12 at SAR. Based on what you saw in the works, the horse was a total pitch, but Rudy the Magic Man finds yet another way to put one over in NY.
