![]() Thanks all..
Malcolm had an eye for an inexpensive horse. He owned the very good Audio Cassette at one time... His "In Memoriam" (Junior) is still running at Tampa-Suffolk at 9, bought out of a catalog for $3,500. An Ohio-bred, Junior was stolen from Malcolm four years ago by a lowlife 'trainer' in the Saratoga area. That prompted the buy of Funny Boy. Training with Gary Sciacca, he was ready in December of '05 at 2 to run but kicked a stall wall and bruised an ankle. A month later, was ready again but yanked a shoe half off in the stall overnight and bruised his hoof bad enough to be sidelined another month. Then when back on track, last March, he injured a tendon. Eights months off... Another three months getting back into shape... David Fawkes has had him here in Florida. Hope for the best today.. Was surprised to see a 12-1 ML.. (Malcolm may have gotten in an advance wager!) Note that Lansdon Robbins' Drilling for Oil goes in the 7th, so that would be a great DD...
