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.

Couldn't agree more with your message and I'm glad you wrote it.

And, if I may add - even after a horse gets claimed from a partnership/trainer, it's ok for that horse to go on and do well for his/her new owners!!! As the former owner, I've never been embarrassed if the horse makes some money and wins a few races for the new owner. It's OK!!

Turning over horses can be profitable and no partnership or owner can survive by constantly losing money.....

Again, I don't think her post meant anything wrong......we understand that part of the game

Somebody's saying I'm wrong? LOL! Get on line. I understand the game - just disappointed he's no longer in the partnership even if he's just a "nickel claimer". He's running, he's sound, he's making some money. Continued good journeys for him. Looking forward to hearing about a replacement in the partnership.

Some people just know everything.

Fortunately for me I married one of them.

He's run at least 10 times since April and no report of injuries or problems were reported to the partnership.

You understand the claiming part of the game, or all the costs that go into the game?

Wouldn't this be classified as a redboard?
