Freddy .... he can show up to the paddock on crutches and he's still as good as claimed next time. Hello Ness barn.

He went 22 2/5 - 46 1/5 - and was beaten by a head in 1:05.10 while 8 lengths clear of the rest in an 11 horse field.

Three races later ... going the same 5.5f distance - African King went 22 flat - 45 3/5 - and won a 38K alw race with Cohen in 1:04.60

African King is a pretty damn honest horse - now 9 career dirt starts with 7 wins and 2 seconds.




I'm sure Sheets guys would say that the 6 or 7 weeks rest your horse had between starts is the reason for the big top he'll get .. and he's sure to bounce next time if he runs back on short rest.

However, I think the most important thing to take out of it all is .... BET AGAINST AFRICAN KING NEXT TIME HE RUNS!

Default In wake of boycott, Gill calls it quits
Owner Michael Gill said he intends to sell off all of his Thoroughbred holdings, saying he is "just worn down" by the recent controversy involving the breakdowns of his horses at Penn National Race Course.

Some of the weakest ones he gave away have run relatively well at Sam Houston.

This one was supposed to be one of the worst of his worst .... seems like it was $1 well spent by his new connections because the horse just won a race at Sam Houston on Saturday and looks like a nice open nickle claimer.

Default Tony Black......give me a break
Not that I heard the entire interview, but I just read the clip on Equidaily about Tony Black endorsing the unprofessional, infantile behavior of the Penn National jockey's....and it makes me wonder.....how come he didn't support a boycott of the ninth race today at Philadelphia Park in which there was a Michael Gill owned Anthony Adamo trained runner?

In case you were wondering, RIKMAN, the Gill/Adamo runner was an easy winner.

I would hope Byk would ask him as such the next time he is on ATR..I would hope Steve asks him as politely as he can to speak on the subject as frankly as he can..Apparently, Mr Black is Mr Grey if he doesnt have all the jocks behind him in advance..
