I don't think that 100 Beyer is a quality horse. Our standards have really been lowered. How about a horse that can race every 2 weeks, have a Beyer of 115 and race into their 4th season? I don't consider a horse that races 4xs a years very impressive. Why have bred such terrible horses? Look back to the soft boned horses, and how over bred they have been...
sabercat 9
Secetariat 10
the Robert B Lewis closed with only 3 nominations,, and Sabercat is not one of them... Any other news on Sabercat???
His trainer said before the race that they were unconcerned if he won or not. So many times in mud, the favored horse will lose because he is too valuable and the owners do not want him hurt. I notice that Hansen just seemed to stop around the turn. Maybe his jockey felt something and did not push.
I guess we should know by now that most horses are NOT Secretariat, who could run all day and then some. Secretariat is #1 forever!
you all know that we still sell horses to the Japanese owners.. we have no scruples. Stacelita is now in Japan. how long before she is eaten? The Chinese say that Japanese have no souls. I believe it.
I am making the trip to see Now I Know! I think she is a winner!
go Hansen, Go!! Beat Union Rags! I'll take Hansen over Union Rags.. anyday!
I agree. I wish American horses would not be subjected to going that far! and I really wish NO American horse were sold to Japan where they disappear and are eaten!!!!!!!!!!! It should be illegal to sell to Japan
