Default Now that the race is over.....?'s

No sour grapes here i didn't bet a race all day new baby=no money but i did have several ?'s about the race

1) does union rags have a new jockey next race?
2) take charge indy dam sire dehere i know that take charge lady was an awesome horse but with dehere in there isn't kind of a sprinty predigree? I really have no idea but seriously doubted this horse would make any noise today but couldnt talk my dad out of betting on him
3) will bode go to preakness?
4) has a horse ever set fractions in the KD like bode and still finish that well?
5) wth happen to gemologist? he was one of my A's and did nothing
6)alredy people saying watch went the day well at Bel but is he bred to go that far? im not that found of proud citizen as a sire but what do i know.
7) Who do you all think moves on to Preakness?

Hope you guys did well today.

I was thinking that a change in riders might not be a bad thing for Union Rags. Leparoux and he just don't seem to mesh right now.

I would think Bode might have a new jockey.

Exactly what I was thinking, and Rags PP's aren't dissimilar to Lookin at Lucky at a similar point in his career.

My question is why was Trinnieberg even entered in the race if he wasn't going to gun and get the lead. The only chance he had (remote) is if he gunned it opened a huge lead and the other jocks fell asleep like they did in the Woodford. Seems like a huge waste of a race for him.

Did Pletcher win a race all weekend there? It seemed as though every one of his charges came out flat - I'm still shocked and amazed how Broadway Alibi got caught in the Oaks, Bridgetown runs a non-effort in the TS turf sprint, Doubles Partner, though not getting the expected set up seemed dull in defeat, and of course Gem & Padrino not even lifting a hoof.... Rough weekend

I think he's more Dollar Bill than LAL. Still good enough to impact some, but he's not the best of this crop after likely being the best 2yo.

Don't even think that's a question.
2) take charge indy dam sire dehere i know that take charge lady was an awesome horse but with dehere in there isn't kind of a sprinty predigree? I really have no idea but seriously doubted this horse would make any noise today but couldnt talk my dad out of betting on him
3) will bode go to preakness?
If he does he will be the favorite
4) has a horse ever set fractions in the KD like bode and still finish that well?
Bold Forbes and Spend A Buck both won after a half in 45 4/5
5) wth happen to gemologist? he was one of my A's and did nothing
6)alredy people saying watch went the day well at Bel but is he bred to go that far? im not that found of proud citizen as a sire but what do i know.
He came back with some cuts, but I don't know if he will miss any training.
7) Who do you all think moves on to Preakness? Lukas

Hope you guys did well today.
Tried to answer most if not all of your questions.

>>>ONeill’s first TCO2 violation came on May 27, 2006, when a horse named Wisdom Cat finished out of the money in the seventh race at Hollywood Park.


ONeill then had a TCO2 violation at Hawthorne Race Course in Illinois, after the horse Stephens Got Hope finished seventh in the seventh race on April 3, 2010.


Currently, he has another TCO2 violation pending in California when blood from the horse Argenta contained 39.4 millimoles per liter of TCO2 before finishing eighth in the sixth race at Del Mar on Aug. 25, 2010.<<<


He's clearly not doing it right
