However, it is believed Rapid Redux's owner Robert Cole is in dicussions with the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation to place the gelding at the TRF's Maker's Mark Secretariat Center at the Kentcky Horse Park. The Secretariat Center is used by the TRF to re-train retired Thoroughbreds for new careers off the racetrack. · 369 days ago ·

Yes, this horse wins alot. But against who? Always the same horses, on the same dirt track, at the same level - Starter allowence. Rapid Redux has yet to be really tested. Yes, a pig with lip stick will look better than a pig without, but this doesnt make the pig a super star.

nice winning streak, but no horse will ever win 30 wins in 1 year like the Iron Gelding Jorrocks did
Looks like our Vox Populi Award winner didn't come out of his last race to sound, he was sore and fatigued. He has been given a few months off from training and racing according to DRF. Andrew Buyer wrote an article on him as well. http://www.drf.com/news/beyer-rapid-redux-spiced-weak-year
Would like to see him make a run for the BC Classic.

  • shadowno · Being by Plesantly Perfect out of a Storm Cat mare this guy was without a doubt a stakes hopeful. In fact he is stakes placed. Granted he finished 3rd in a 3 horse field, but stakes placed nonetheless. It seems certain that physical conditions (He runs in 4 wraps) rather than genetics derailed his promise. He has done pretty darn well regardless. · 491 days ago ·

  • likin sparks · Yea, he raced in a couple stakes races but was with previous connections that had more interest in other horses in the barn and never invested the training to see his full potential, instead he went to claims.

  • brooklyn.steve · This is the same reason some horses don't go to the Breeders Cup that should. Yeah, it would be nice to win, but the risk/reward factor will almost never favor the owner. As an owner, one thing I have wanted to see changed for some time is purse distribution. If the bulk of the money goes to the winner, how is anyone except the winner supposed to make a buck? It should be a uniform 50% of the purse money goes to the winner, 25% goes to the 2nd place horse, 12% to the show horse and so on. The winner of any race, I don't care if it's a MCL or the Kentuck Derby, should never get more than 50% of the purse money. · 501 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · Chris, you're absolutely right about a day at the races. Depending on how far away from a track you live, the most expensive part of the day would probably be travel costs and betting. Laura, you make a VERY good point about racing where your talent puts you. If this actually happened, we would have more competitive and exciting races. If Zenyatta had raced against the boys more times than just in the BCC, then her fans would have been ecstatic. Her closing kick was amazing to watch, but it was even more thrilling when she raced and won against males. Steve, I like your idea about purse distribution. It would definitely make more people take more risks rather than playing it safe in the interests of trying not to land in the red. · 500 days ago ·
