Mafaaz moving to McLaughlin’s barn
 

But who's running the show? The connections, or McLaughlin?

You decide

Dahoss runs the Mafaaz show.




On DT at least.

Maafaz passes on Derby
 

To NY to prepare for grass campaign.. Per Haskin.

Hossy will be heartbroken.

He just pm'd me. He is really pulling for His Greatness on Saturday at Kee. That's his 2nd Derby horse. Hoss loved the way he ran in The Rebel.

They really should have sent him to a claiming trainer.

He seems to be $50000 claiming caliber so i figured they might want to think about putting with someone that would run him there

ship a horse overseas to end up in for a tag....ouch can you imagine if it ends up that way? surely won't.


right??

I'm sure I've seen it happen but I can't quite give you a name. Bugger. Maybe it'll come to me. Part of the problem is they fell down the claiming ranks so it's not like they were constant newsmakers in the U.S. that I remember offhand. I also don't have any of those paid for programs that you can search beyond the stakes races they've placed in.

25k at the Fair Grounds maybe.
:eek:

Well he is eligible to the straight three year old claimers

Do they have one on the Preakness undercard? He should run if there is. It won't be televised so, like a tree falling in the forest, no one will know and any potential embarrassment will be avoided. (Apologies for allowing an ESPN grumble to spill over into a different thread.)

I suppose this shows that not everyone is completely spell bound by throwing their horse into the Kentucky Derby and subsequent Preakness 2 weeks later .
