I remember when I talked myself into buying Top Royelle at Newmarket using the justification that she had interesting bloodlines and looked like she'd be a nice broodmare prospect when she was done racing.
Very professional debut today. Congrats!

GPK 08-19-2012 08:26 PM

Top Royelle:{>::{>:

Way to go, gang.:tro:

GBBob 08-19-2012 08:27 PM

I know this is a horse board, but Doug and Fred were so cool about Top Royelle ( Winner's Mom) that I have to give them creds....thnx

Thnx Chuck...for so many reasons..When you were talking to me about the first Polytrack partnership I remember you saying that.

When they brought her out of her stall at the sale she had a bandage on her leg because she had just run the day before and had gotten stepped on in the race. I figured that would keep the price low enough and after coming up with the broodmare play she was almost a certainty to become property of polyhorse partners!

It was the only sensible option for us.

She was a real warrior. I just wish I had part of her over that track at PID when she was sound. Her guts and your help bailed us out on the claim.

I hope she drops many more winners for you.

Really cool tough horse with a lot of guts.

South Beach Luv 08-19-2012 09:14 PM

Congrats on both the win and engagement Bob. We watched her race live, very impressive :tro:

Kasept 08-19-2012 09:19 PM

Very cool.. Congrats Bob and all involved all along the way. Shows how far the tentacles reach in creating a winner!

Calzone Lord 08-19-2012 11:44 PM

One of the cool things about Top Royelle's win here is that I brought 3 of my favorite racetrackers to the winner circle.



Two local pimps -- the Tate Brothers to my left -- and the janitor Paul to my right (one of the few holdover workers from The Erie Downs)

I called that horse 'Jason Voorhees' -- by the point after the race we claimed her, she wasn't eating much, couldn't train much, and was doing ridiculously poor to the point of needing X-ray's and tests to reassure us she was sound enough to race. When she walked to the track -- her whole attitude changed.

Quite unbelievably, she ran a good 3rd and a 1st in her first two races after the claim. As soon as she turned in her first non-effort, she was lucky to have a great past owner like Bob get her back.

Wow, congratulations!

Congratulations!! Something about breeding them, and then showing the patience required to get them to the track the right way, that makes it extra special.

Yeah, you forget about the constant drain they are when things like yesterday happen.

61 Beyer. Should be useful in the Il bred ranks.

pointman 08-20-2012 12:56 PM

Congrats to all! :tro:

pgiaco 08-20-2012 03:39 PM

Congrats Bob! Always a little sweeter with one you bred yourself. Congrats on the engagement as well. Now, will the horses or the spouse do you in first? :D

Riot 08-20-2012 04:08 PM

Wow, one heck of an awesome, memorable day, congratulations, Bob! :)

A Top Royalle baby, that's so cool.
