Default Runhappy

Very interesting Leconte field. Curious about Savoy Stomp, War Story, Another Lemon Drop Kid and Tiznow R J.

Default Runhappy, Lecomte Stakes

This Super Saver horse broke his maiden impressively on December 28th at Turfway Park, going from last to first with a very green ride. Check out the video:

They're are swinging him back here rather quickly and are putting him into a pretty competitive race here, but I definitely think he's worth a look.

I think he's likely to be a HUGE underlay and will prove the sucker play of the century in this race.

I don't know who he really beat in his debut and this race has a rather competitive field. Yes, a lot of people should be betting on this Super Saver colt. We shall see.

He reminds me of that crazy-assed horse that Contessa had a few years back - 85 in a 50 or something like that?

I couldn't pick this trainer out of a line up, but it would kill them to get a little bit of seasoning into this horse before attempting G3's on a completely different surface?

He might be this years Bodiemeister, but not for me in the LeComte

She's Mattress Mac's sister-in-law and used to work in his furniture store. He's a complete lunatic.

Sells furniture like a nut too.....he's got a gig going now that if you buy like $8500 worth of furniture and oil does not sell above $85 by the end of the year, you get your money back, free furniture.
He lost a similiar deal last year betting free furniture against the win/loss record of the Astros

Yeah, I saw that the other day. He started it all with the Super Bowl if I remember correctly. Great marketer/self-promoter without a doubt.

I think a lot of people should NOT be betting on this horse.

Worked 7/8 here at Evangeline Training Center last week. Since we only have registered workouts on Saturdays, there won't be a published work. For anyone interested in betting this colt, he worked in 1:27 which is around two turns here. A very nice work over this track..

Per a Marcus Hersh tweet - She is running both Runhappy and Killingit in the Le Comte. Expecting to send Runhappy from the break
