Truly a Judge ~ old guys rule!
 

Couldn't care less if he's first, last, whatever.....

GOOD LUCK to Truly a Judge, Esquire, today in R8 at Del Mar.

Love the old guy to death..... one of my favorites and i just had to wish him a safe trip home. :)

I also would like to wish Truly a Judge the best of luck today. Any horse that reads this forum is worthy of praise.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but Truly A Judge is a spring chicken compared to Hermosillia, running in his final race today at 15. Hermosilla isn't in the same class as the Judge, but nevertheless quite a warrior.

He finished second in his last race at Wyoming Downs 8/5/07 in a $1600 claimer for a $2500 tag. This will be his 74th career start according to a DRF article 8/3/07

............but at least the Del Mar race will be televised..........

Oh yeah I read about that one.... hope he bows out with a win. :)

Court's in Session (8YO) is in the race with Judge.... he should be listed as a gelding. Not that it matters but hey... gotta give the gentleman some attention too.

(Sniper if you're around no disrespect to our boy Chips, but.....)

I love the old guys. That race at Del Mar is funny though.
Truly a Judge next to Court's in Session, that's a good one.
Hope all the old guys come home safe. Wish I could watch that elko one with Hermosilla, I saw that the other day.

"Court's in Session (8YO) is in the race with Judge.... he should be listed as a gelding"
BTW a ridgling is different. He wasn't born with both of his parts, only had one.

Oh yeah i know but look..... :)

Not as bad as when Equibase listed Colonial Colony (applause! :D I loved him) as a gelding.

I'm in moron mode.... cannot find results for Elko! Did he win?

Ooops, didn't see that, just looked at drf. LOL, they have made some funny changes.
Can't find Elko yet.

Congrats to the connections of Fete..... a nice win.

Great to see the Judge back on the track.

(STILL can't find Elko!)

Thank you I will tell him you send good wishs, he is owned by my son in laws Grandfather. Truly a Judge is a grand looking gelding.

Oh! I had no idea!

Please let him know that his horse is loved. :)

His owner gives him what ever time away from the track he needs. He is big good looking gelding that still wants to race.

Let Truly the Judge and his owners know he has a fan club, and we enjoyed watching him race.
He had a nice race yesterday.
Still can't find Elko w/ Hermosilla.

Oh, speaking of the old guys, Evening Attire is entered in the 8th at Saratoga today for the MTO, he's a fav of mine.

Not off turf/scratched, re-entered on the dirt, R3 on the 30th.

Hermosilla came in 6th. The only race they have listed results is for that race...LOL

Thanks for finding results. Happy retirement to him.:)

Fondest regards to Mr. Truly a Judge, Esquire, who ran at Oak Tree today.

Doesn't matter to me where he finished... it was a joy to watch him and he came home safe. I hope he got a nice reward for his gallant efforts. :)

Looking at Truly a Judge's pedigree, I see that he comes from an Isaacs family out of Florida (all those horses named with initial 'I's). Mr. Isaacs bred sound, professional racehorses as a policy.

Speaking of oldsters, was at Doncaster for the St. Leger. Last race of the day was a class 3 handicap over 6f, won by 12yo Ellens Academy; rest of the competitors were either 3 or 4. He has won 3 races this year, has a lifetime record of 98/10-11-9.
