But pesronally and sincerely-----...I would advise he be sold for no less than 4 magic beans.

On the Serious Side I would Probably Retire him and Give him to the Ky Horse Park.

5 magic beans.

I realize he was beaten 22 lengths yesterday - but that was by far his best performance this year ... at least he did some real running through some point in a race for the first time this year. When I saw how close he was to that pace after 4 furlongs were run - I said "if he makes it across the wire at anything more than a walk it's a miracle"

I think it was easily his most encouraging performance this year. He's simply a one-dimensional deep closer who needs to be taken way back early on. If he couldn't run at all anymore - he wouldn't have been able to keep close contact with that rapid pace yesterday.

bring him home, introduce him to the boys and start teaching him a new job.

6 magic beans and one set of Kentucky RocketShip Put-It-Together Yourself instructions.

That's probably as much as you will get for him.

What do you think... run him at Hawthorne or pass?

Would he have a shot?

Others have wondered...


The Hawthorne Gold Cup (gr. II) would be a good spot to let him go back to his normal running style and see if it can wake him up. No one wants to see a good horse, especially a Kentucky Derby winner, go out like this. ~

Yes or no and why, or why not?

The police should adopt her breakdown interrogation method.

I would send him to Tasmania and run him in routes at Mowbray

Ok I would run him off the layoff in the BC sprint or mile. Hope for a hot hot pace over a track he must like just a bit, and maybe rain. Then from there, I would lay him off till 2013 and bring him back Aqueduct winter meet that Fox race thats like 1 5/8 and gun him to the lead... See how that works?

I'd rename him Mine that Zenyatta.

i'd go over him with a fine toothed comb and then start him back at lower levels assuming nothing was physically wrong. if he couldn't do well in a couple allowance races, i'd be calling ky horse park to arrange a new home.

I'd geld him

Poor thing is just a very slow horse who got lucky one day. I have been on the recieveing end of one of those lucky days.....sometimes you have action in one day and it throws the poor horse to the wolves for the rest of his career.

I got this thread mixed up with the 'Lisa's Booby Trap is now in your barn' thread, so the whole castration plan confused me for a second. Then I realized I'd clicked on the wrong link. :o Hard to keep all these hypothetical training plans straight.

^^^^ Hornier than a blind dildo.

I was referring to the trainer

For the love of God NO horse deserves Hawthorne!

:D

A lot of reeeally nice horses have gone and won it.
