Default Rogue Agent alert

The handsome 8 year old bay gelding is back in action on Friday at Aqueduct, 1st race.

Not an easy spot as both Papua and Ryan is Flying are both in career form.

Interior Designer looked like a winner last time only to be nailed on the wire, so hes also one to beat in here.

Good luck Rogue Agent. We all love you.

Did you know his last win was in 2004?

Hey, Multiple Choice got it done last Friday for the first time since like Bill Clinton was the president, maybe it's Rogue Agent's turn...

Was thinking the same thing. Multiple Choice's last win was a little over a week before Birdstone beat Smarmy Jones.....seriously.

I didn't realize it until Steve mailed me and said you said that. I had him singled in the final leg of the P6 after my backup tickets got ripped up... his last win was on 5/30/04 in the G3 Jaipur. Wow... that's a long time between drinks for a pretty decent horse.

Was that one of the years that the Jaipur was taken off the turf?
Maybe the year Great Notion also was in the race and was around 5/1?
I seem to remember that race.

It was because of me that Mulitiple Choice was able to get up and blow by Alarmed last week. I posted that he was a great bet against at short odds because he hadnt won a race in so long.

Yes I knew. I have that race on tape. I remember the day Rogue Agent ran
2nd to Landosn's horse last year. Offlee Wild I think.

Oracle and Ateam were in the winner's circle that day.

Default Scuds- Rogue Agent

Is this the race you were referring to:

11/19) Rogue Agent cruises to open allowance victory
New York-bred ROGUE AGENT won his second consecutive open allowance with another wire-to-wire effort over the sloppy going at Aqueduct Racetrack. Despite his previous easy score, 12-days prior, when he won by 3-1/4 lengths, Rogue Agent went to the post at odds of 7-2 in the NW-2X other than Maiden, Claiming, Starter or Restricted condition allowance, which carried a $50,000 purse. Run at 1-1/8th mile around two-turns, 7-horses went to the post with rider Norberto Arroyo, Jr. aboard Rogue Agent for trainer Michael Brice.

Quickest of all out of the gate, Rogue Agent won the run into the first turn and dictated the pace of the race throughout. After a half-mile in 48.2 and three-quarters in 1:12.1, the unchallenged Rogue Agent came to the top of the stretch with a commanding 4-length lead, which he increased to 6-lengths crossing the wire. Final time was 1:51 flat.

Claimed for $30,000 by Scott Fein and Gene Parrotta, Rogue Agent has now won twice for the new connections and finished second in his only other outing. Fein and Parrotta qualified for an open owner's award of $6,000 for today's score. Rogue Agent has now banked $198,795 with a Lifetime Record: 24-6-3-2.

Bred by Eaton & Thorne, Inc., which qualified for a $6,000 breeder award, Rogue Agent was consigned to Fasig-Tipton Midlantic's October 2000 yearling sale in Timonium, Maryland, by Thomas J. and Nadine Gallo, agent, and bought by Spendthrift Farm, which signed the sales slip for $10,000. His sire is former New York stallion Anjiz, who had stood at Louis Salerno's Questroyal Stud in Hudson and whose owners of four years ago -- Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid al Maktoum's Kentucky-based Gainsborough Farm and Questroyal #100 LLC -- qualified for a $2,100 stallion award. The chestnut gelding is the ninth winner produced from Ruler's Storm, being a full brother to one winner and a half-brother to Grade 2 NYRA winner Love That Mac ($864,085) and to the winning granddam of stakes winner Shandra Smiles. Dam Ruler's Storm, who is by Irish Ruler, is a half-sister to the dam of French Group 1 winner Escaline and Italian Group 3 winner Esdale (their dam also is granddam of German champion Royal Abjar) and to the granddams of Mexican champion Pensativa and French Group 2 winner Califet. Rogue Agent's co-breeder, Oakleigh Thorne of Amenia, had purchased Ruler's Storm for $27,000 at Keeneland's 1990 November Sale.

Funny Mike Smith doesnt ride My Kinda Town. If my memory serves right, he won on this horse earlier in 2006. I dont have the PPs, I only remember this because one of my good friends made a huge bet on him that day.

Rogue Agent may do better than you think Scuds. Dont sell too short. On his best day, he can wire these.

He could be sitting on a huge year. Nice to see him back. The game needs more horses like him.

I forgot, this board is much more into talking about horses who run 4 times a year for 2 years then retire. Whatever was I thinking about a horse who actually sticks around in training.

that's not really fair matt considering you are the one who started this thread to mock another person's excitement about a horse...who cares what the horse has done or will do?...if Tim likes him and thinks he is worth talking about why shouldn't he post about him?...

That's not entirely fair either even though i can understand why you might feel that way sometimes...but in the future try to only start one thread about a horse...you can always find it and bump it up later on...
and of course the horses that run in the big races (and retire earlier) will generate more discussion because they are usually known on a national scale...the hard knocking runners are, more often than not only know regionally at best.

FYI **I combined all three threads on Rogue Agent**
