What the Nation is saying about Owner Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Moss...

How the Economy Has Shaped the Industry

Dead Heat Debates’ Laura Pugh and I were discussing the Count Fleet Stakes and the G3 Sham Stakes, and, as always happens with conversations, when we had exhausted that topic, we moved on to another. As we discussed this year’s crop of 3-year olds, our conversation somehow meandered to Rapid Redux a...Read More

cpsoren121 · And it goes beyond just the owners and trainers. Fans alike are also affected by the economic conditions. If they only knew that a day at the races aren't as expensive as they think. Great read though! Nice work. · 504 days ago ·

DeadHeat · Thank you very much for the mention, it was a great discussion :) Money influences so much now, one other thing is the retirment. While i grow tired of the early retirement, I understand that money is a huge part of the decision. When racing, the insurance on a horse rises each year it runs, especially the ones like Smarty, Afleet, and Bernardini. The entry fees are tens of thousands if not more, shipping, bills and everything pile up. Why would you pay a trainer for another year, in this economy, while increasing the risk of injury to your horse, paying outlandish entry fees, when you could just pay a board bill and my millions in profit with that same horse as a stud? Is it greed, I would say in some cases it is, however, there are other factors. On Zenyatta, I feel the same way as above. Love the horse, but think the connections had a bull and would not let her out of the pen more than once a year. I don't expect a west coaster to travle 3k miles for one race. What I do expect is to race where your talent puts you. Her talent far exceeded any filly or mare in the Cali division, which is why I am angry they did not run her against males in Cali. It is my opinion that she would have won and dusted any male in Cali during 09 and 2010. RR is no stakes horse, and while he races below where he should, he makes up for it by how often he runs. 19 times in one year is unheard in the larger circles of racing, the most Zenyatta ran was 7 times in year. Her final two seasons she started 5 and 6 times. · 504 days ago ·

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. · 504 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. · 503 days ago ·

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Moss

I have a question for Zenyatta's family. Would someone please look and tell me if this fantastic mare has TUSCHES? Most often found in male horses( not speaking of wolf teeth, canines, whatever) there are 2 mares that I mhave known personally, one, Gallorette, a great performer (beating either Stymie and or Assualt: can't remember) and mySchaurbauer bre Quaeter bred mare, Mary Five (dam of 16 foals). Interestingly, these mares ( with tushes) are all extradinary performers in their preferred field. Will some please do a little mouth checking and copy me with your findings, please? What a fatastic mare and what wise horsemen and trainers have been in her life. Thanks for the joy of your sharing, Affectionally, Joan

medlocke · Congrats big momma!! Really wish you all the best, and I hope you don't have any problems carrying this one!! Bernardini has very rapidly proven himself to be one of the very best young sires in the breeding industry these days, so this foal really has the potential to become something special, IMO. Can you imagine the $$$ this foal will fetch if it's sold somewhere like the Keenland sales, or something??? · 725 days ago ·

medlocke · Bernardini's become an awfully good, and awfully respected American sire very early into his standing stud. But this may very well be a case of this foal being as sought after as much for the broodmares genes as much as the sires. · 698 days ago ·

ajump08 · Best thing about Kathmanblu is the fact that her best race came over the track at Churchill. Zazu is a stone cold closer and very talented, but could the two month layoff be a problem. · 761 days ago ·
