Wilko Has Nothing

randallscott35 · #1 02-10-2007, 04:40 PM

Boy I always thought this horse would be decent but he just never got any better than the BC Juvy. A few clunkers here and there and he matched his big number in the World Cup last year, but now it looks like he doesn't even want to run anymore.

Just disinterested. To the shed.

agree Rand...didn't look very impressive at all...nor that interested in running.

although...really thinking about it...the winner looked awfully good. I think Wilko would have to have been fully cranked to get to him today....maybe this was a prep for something bigger down the road?

Maybe, but his last few sort of look the same at this point. And his race at Toga looked as if he might be off physically...he may well be retired soon.

He was prepping for the Big Cap. They wanted a dirt mile but the race didn't fill so they wound up throwing him on the turf just to get a race in him.

Haha Kev. I doubt it. Too far to travel for me. I don't play that many....If there was a quick flight or something maybe, but I don't see it.

That was a grass race prep for a T2D start in the Big Cap.. Whenever you think he's got nothing, he hits the board at a nice price.

thanks Snipe. Hope the race over the grass will get some bottom under him.

The old Wilko, yes, the new one....Hasn't won in years, finished 3rd three times last year at 4-1, 7-1, and a non betting World Cup....Hey I hope he comes around. Always had a soft spot for the guy. Really do.

I would think that by now you might just want to convince them that you're not a monk

a little healthy competition between nieghbors is normal

brianwspencer · #19 02-10-2007, 05:06 PM

He was never very good on the turf -- what was he before the BC, maybe 1 or 2 for 13 or something like that?

I haven't seen the race, but I wasn't too worried about him today anyway, didn't love the grass idea for wagering anyway.

Nobody in the history of gambling has lost more money on any one horse as I have lost on Wilco. I refuse to even spell his name like he wanted it to be spelled. I will honor and respect the band more than the horse, therefore everybody needs to spell it like the band, Wilco. Anybody who doesnt do so will be banned.
