razo/richard-chicago this winter
 

believe me im not the biggest fan of eddies(eusebio) riding but him and chris richard are absolutely tearing it up@ oaklawn. 2 more winners for them today which puts richard ata sick 50% for the meet. it absolutely doesnt hurt to have maggi moss and the dr. as your owners, people who have unilimited depth in their pockets and people who run horses to win! pretty much just about every1 from chicago who has shipped out during our dark season has done very very well! whether its trainers or jocks dale bennet's tearing it up@tampa, hell even tony granitz is batting a high% down there as well as rick slomkowski for those who dont know is the catmans(catalano) brother in law. montalvo and razo already mentioned are doing quite well, as are ramzey zimmerman and jesse down@ the FG. lol the problem is all this success outside of chitown will also have a effect here when racing resumes friday with a scarce colony as far as jocks go and i dont expect the entry box to be filling up. lol they gave away a free breakfast for trainers outside the racing office here this morning as trainers went in to hand in foal papers. if you have quality stock you clean up this spring in chicago

Where is Jesse Campbell's father Michael running? FG or Oaklawn? Is he doing any good?

i imagine oaklawn or maybe just kept the majority of everything here for the winter. ill try and find out 2morrow morning. didnt see anything of MC's here today on the track this morning but then again there was a shiatload out there

FG Bruce, Jesse has been tearing up FG also. Love playing their horses as the 'Campbell' box is usually right where I am sitting.....he is an underrated trainer, I would give horses to him or Schrerer

well scav like i mentioned the other day here he has done very will with the get in the picture partnership, although its much more expensive than the 1 steve setup for the good people here i believe campbells is 5k a share but you own multiple horses and the partnership is dissolved at the end of every year and money is split up. mike's definately no fool, he knows how to claim them and knows how to drop and get ridda em when theyre finished

They're nice people. Live (at least used to) across the street from a good friend in L Zurich. Kid Grindstone had a nice year for them. I think the father had a real good year. Glad to see they're doing good.

my trainer grew up in lake zurich/hawthorn woods area as well.......god would i love to own some of those homes there!

It is basically Wisconsin....

Campbell isn't just a partnership trainer, he has my friends horse with him now, a 15k claimer.....

There are three trainers I would give a horse to at Arlington. Campbell, Schrerer(especially when he stops partying all night), and Kirby.....

I would even give one to Choilty as he can train, his stock is crap though

Tom, it's not really that close to Wisconsin. I'm glad M Campbell is doing good. I remember him winning early at Spt and Hawthorne with claimed horses from Oaklawn. Someone told me he trains the Wexler horses these days. If so, that's got to help.

LOL hey all our horses arent crap, partied with richie scherer, and jimmie mcmullen up@ the claiming crown along with scott lake and every1 else there, i think everybody was drunk:)

I dont think Maggi Moss has unlimited funds, she just makes some very good moves. She spots them right, and claims the right ones.

i agree, but shes got horses all over the country and isnt afraid to drop 1 1st off the claim just to getta win

Yeah he is training for Wexler, I have no idea who the guy is but he has cokebottles for glasses, simply HUGE

Come on playa, he has them looking good but they can't run. My guess is that he wins maybe 2 at Arlington.....If he is smart he ships EVERYTHING to Hawthorne and tears that meet up, and hopefully picks up some clients with some cash

Hawthorne shippers have been deadly the past few years when they'd ship to FG, OP, Tam and often GP, although Catalano/Calabrese have struggled this year in Hallandale. Haw may not have the Allw and Mdns to compete w/NY and KY horses but their claiming stock can run well against any circuit.

well hes got some better stock than he had@arlington. yeah he only won 1 race at arlington during the meet out of like 18 but when i started working there we also won races during the arlington meet@churchill, prarie meadows, and great lakes so it wasnt a bad summer for the barn. the 1 race we did win with spanning she was claimed for 18 moved up to 25 ran 3rd dropped back down to 18 and won and got claimed away but that was a huge profit since she got all that ILL bonus money in that race. also the current ownership is much more realisitic, i think steve will have the type of year he had a couple years ago when he was 25%
