Someone wrote Orb ''deserves rest.'' Heck, these horses are so pampered and lightly-raced they need toughening up not more rest. Years ago when 3-year-olds raced much more frequently at 2 and 3 they remained healthy through their 4-and even 5-yeard old racing years.

  • buckpasser · Kay. Yes I have heard she was a difficult and bad tempered. But it is interesting her other foals like Plaudit, who was a KD winner and highly thought of, were not bad tempered. Or at least no one has said he was that I can find. Only Hastings seems to have been hot tempered and known for that. I'll look through some of my books about her other foals and see if I find anything. · 7 hours ago ·

  • kay.robinett · That is interesting, that Cinderella's other foals were not noted for bad temper. Wonder if some of the bad actors in that blood line were mishandled in some way? I do not mean that they were abused. For example, Fair Play was supposedly challenging but never outright mean until he went to Europe. The grooms there at that time reportedly would bang hay against the horses to get the dust out of their coats. Fair Play apparently had very sensitive skin and this grooming supposedly bothered him to the point where he went from challenging to very difficult. You have to wonder if Man o" War was really lucky in his trainer, in that IIRC, his trainer had worked with both of his parents (and possibly his full sister Masda, who was also reportedly a handful and then some) and probably understood the quirks of that family well. If he had had any other trainer, would he have reached his great potential or would he have turned savage? · 18 minutes ago ·

  • kay.robinett · I saw Ausus race at Keeneland on Bluegrass weekend. She is a lovely filly with a glorious long tail. She really caught my eye. She was closing pretty well in her race. She came in behind the previous grade I winners and in front of the lesser graded winners. I think it is a matter of time before she becomes her sire's first US stakes winner. · 27 minutes ago ·

Anyone else feel like this horse should be rested instead of being run in the Belmont? I dunno, I just feel those big legs of his need a rest....and being by Unbridled's Song I feel like caution should be taken with him?!
