Bullshit. He's 13, runs in wraps in the winter at AQ for 7500....He is the type that will break down trying. How'd Lava Man fair in the last after a few years off and being so sound frolicking in the field.....85 starts, give me a break.

As an owner of racehorses in NY myself, I can tell you that I know Mr. Repole as well as his stable manager. I know firsthand their commitment to the game and more importantly their commitment to the horses they run.

With all due respect Randall, I appreciate your opinion, but you know not of which you speak.

Again, the owner card as if that makes your opinion any more valid....Good enough, tell me something. If Cool N Collective weren't a gelding, would he still be racing?

if he weren't a gelding - he'd probably be gelded.

He'd be worth about $4.24 as a stallion if he was a full horse.

I wonder if Funny Cide could still run in a 7500 tag? I hear he likes peppermints also.....fine if that's what the owners wanted....but when you can't control who takes the horse, or what plate he ends up on in Japan, I'm guessing you lose your right to be ga ga about your claimer who will always have a good home.

Funny Cide would have been an excellent stallion prospect.

Cool and Collective would be about as hot of a stallion as East of Easy is right now.

Would he be a stallion or running at 13 with wraps and a nice win at Suffolk for 4k?

I don't know what intact nuts have to do with it. Sorry. The only "owner card" I have is that I know the people involved in the operation and know that your opinion, while entitled, is just that, and unfortunately void of fact.

It really sounds like it needs to be your mission in life to claim every horse in the country you feel shouldn't be on the track and give it a home. Or at least donate as much to the various thoroughbred retirement agencies to satisfy your judgments.

Herschel Walker fought in a bottom level mma claimer last night and did alright.

Or That ^^^^^^^^

Until such time as you risk your $$ you have no right to tell ANYONE when their horse should be retired. Simple as that.....

I agree with that. You missed the entire point. Which is not surprising based on your previous rant.
