We are going to be shopping at the Keeneland sale today for a possible replacement for RBK. Steve will keep you updated on the potential hip numbers, most sell later in the day and there are lots of scratches so the sale should move along. Our emphasis is going to be on a winter horse for Parx so no turf and most importantly must have conditions.

I didnt find anything that fit within our budget restrictions. A few that we were looking at went for double what I thought they were worth. Hip number 3280 was a ghostzapper 2 yo that just ran 2nd in a fairly weak mdn 15 at Hawthorne with a 41 beyer. He was ok looking, nothing special but he would have fit at Parx in a 12500 maiden claimer. Figured he was going to be between 7500-10000. Went for 32000.

Good for him. I thought he was the best horse in the 4 horse partnership. Too bad he's still not in the partnership, but I wish him well wherever he is and hope he continues his winning ways.

At a certain point you have to ask yourself and team when is it time to get a win to stop asborbing the costly expense of owning a racehorse. Dropping to that 7.5k level was exactly the right move off his effort before the race. He is and will be a nickel claimer, good nickel claimers get claimed, it isn't like he was gonna be an allowance horse. A 10nw3 race at Penn National is probably like the 7.5nw3 at Philly. I'll grant anyone that a win is a win, but when Chuck get one claimed off him, not many go on to improve.

Wouldn't this be classified as a redboard?
