I'll believe it when I see it
 

The Green Monkey may finally run

In addition to watching Rags to Riches run on Saturday, it is possible that Tabor will also get to see The Green Monkey finally make it to the races. Tabor and his partners shelled out $16 million at the Fasig-Tipton 2-year-olds in training sale at Calder in February 2006 for the son of Forestry-Magical Masquerade, but that horse has had his setbacks and has yet to make it to the races. That could finally come to fruition on Saturday.

"I hope I'm looking forward to it,' Tabor said.

Tabor said he hasn't been preoccupied thinking about when and if The Green Monkey would make it to the races.

"Frankly, I've got plenty of other things to keep me occupied," Tabor said. "It's something you put on the back burner. It's not something you drive yourself crackers with, is it?"

I wonder what the tag is.

Scott, are you suuure you dont want to come to belmont saturday... You're girl Rags to Riches AND the Green Donkey??

I wish I didn't have plans, I'd be down there in a second otherwise.

Belmont?? when I saw that the Green Monkey was running I just assumed they were talking about Suffolk, or Delaware.

There are going to be a ton of people eating crow if this horse runs away and wins by 5. Sometimes it pays to be patient. Who made the rule that horses have to run at a certain age?

Baby Jesus did.

I expect him to run well. They wouldn't be entering him if they didn't think he could win.

are you taking the over that i set at 31 lengths for his margin of victory?

generally i agree with you, i expect him to run very well. i still dont think he'll be that much though.

Not quite but I think he'll be in the top two. Anyone looking for him to run up the track is going to be disappointed.

When is she running?

If Green Monkey runs behine the other horses.. would the DRF PP comments say..............""Raced Greenly"" ??:p

For whatever it's worth, there have been more than a couple superstars of racing in the last few years to not make their first starts until three. They generally were not $16 million purchases, however.

...see my previous post about Sidd Finch.

Jim, I'm offended :cool:

This horse will run well, patience is a virtue hasn't anyone had an injury and then came back with a vengence? I have:cool: :cool: :cool:
