Bandini
 

Is Bandini still running? I thought he was retired.


This notice is to inform you that one or more of your horses has worked out.

Retired- standing at Walmac. I've seen this happen a few times before... Afleet Alex supposedly worked a year after he was retired.

Thanks. I thought it was a mistake.

Sounds like someone needs to update their stable mail.

LOL....yeah I know.....The funny thing is - I did about 2 weeks ago and either I just missed him or did not hit "save".

I had this happen today!! We retired a horse to a rescue facility in FL. earlier this year. I had an e-mail that he worked over the weekend at Turfway. It obviously wasn't him....Is this an honest mistake or is it like identity theft?

In your case i may worry that the horse was 'unrescued'

No..thank goodness we got confirmation that he is content in his Florida retirement.

Couldn't this mean that a Bandini progeny maybe worked? I know that most yearlings/new 2 year olds are referred to by their mom's names for a while.....

If he is the mom of a 2 year old that will be news

:)

I was just saying maybe they used Bandini for the heck of it, "Oh the Bandini yearling worked today" type thing...maybe not

That kind of stuff only happens in Bend, Oregon

Must. Resist. Dirty. Joke.

31lengths: That is a great logon name -- I like it.

Street Sense worked a half mile at River Downs about 2 days before the Preakness in 2007. I think some people prank call the clockers and sometimes the clockers might mishear the name on the radio.

the guy calls in "Yeah i got Candini going 5/8ths with Carl' and the clocker heres Bandini, there u have it.

Thanks.

It happens a bit, I recieved this earlier this year:

I emailed the track and they replied, said the clocker apparently "scrolled down too far" and that it was a workout by Shakey.

I've since cleaned out my stable mail.

SYD retired in March '07
