Default Lord of the Game

I see that Maggie Moss claimed him today.

He was a distant 2nd as the odds on favorite in a 5K claimer at Mountaineer.

This gelded full brother to Haskell winner and Ky Derby 2nd Bluegrass Cat won 8 of 18 career races and made over 500K. Also was a multiple Graded Stakes winner.

I would think Maggie claimed him to retire him.

That would be a very classy move if that was her motivation here. After listening to her one afternoon tell us about what a fine citizen Mr Dutrow is when he got caught blantantly fabricating workouts I thought her a shrew but perhaps there is a decent streak somewhere in Momma Moss....

Wow, that is awesome of her if it holds true. While I can't stand her defense of Assmussen, this I really respect.

I know this and I'll leave it at this, the connections WOULD NOT sell prior to this race at an offer of equal to the claim price, and win or lose, it was told to me that this was supposedly his last race.

I just requested her to be my friend on Facebook, and asked her what the deal is.....

Even though she defends some alchemist trainers ... she seems pretty damn cool and I love that she has the same last name as the greatest NFL football player to ever live.

"I don't make a habit of it, but I do have the ability to claim horses that other people would like to retire," Moss said. "Name horses, famous horses, and horses that aren't so famous. My goal is to keep bringing attention to this and have other breeders and owners step up. You can't save them all, but if one or two people step up, it makes all the difference. WinStar really stepped up to the plate on this horse. I wish more horses were as wanted as him."
