11/27 (AQU): Fall Highweight

[Bobby Fischer]

this may be the last chance to get a big juicy underlay on Fabulous Strike before they retire his beloved *$$.

If Songster gets big money as well, ... why I'll eat a turkey!

Idiot Proof's non-synthetic record is pretty stellar.

What possible reason would they retire him for?

my psychic says he is on the downswing and decisions will have to be made next season. ~~Class Relief or Retire after the layoff and a light stakes or two.~~

I'm hoping he takes a lot of dumb money on thanksgiving, but the markets and economy have been stingy lately. The highweight isn't exactly a huge draw of extra fan money. If he is as low as 3 or 4-1 you get a fat underlay but not the 2-1 you really want to see. You kind of have to call Songster a punk and hope he isn't right for this as well. I was hoping the ml would set Strike real low - haven't seen it yet.

My understanding is that they might get one more race for him and then stand him along side his sire at Lane's End.

I told my friend Teddy that Fabulous Strike might be retiring soon and a great chess player fan thinks he will. He offered to sell me lifelong breeding rights to fabulous strike for just $20!! Holy Guakamole what a deal!!! where can I find a nice cheap broodmare or two to breed to him?

wait a second ... Fabulous Strike is a gelding ??

You didn't see him kicking his leg out in the head on?

^^ LOL

no such observation here, he just has been on the list of overrated speedballs for a while now. He is a fan favorite so you have to look to races where he is vulnerable. If everything goes his own way sure he can look great... He actually was grade I or II, a year or two ago.
