The truth is, with a lot of these NY breds, while it's great if they can be competitive in the conditional allowance races, once they blow their condition their value is usually not very high.

I would imagine that Contessa has a great handle on all this and is trying to find the best spot for him. You've done more than OK with him over the past six months.

Well... almost none. They wrote two last year at Belmont spring... Chestertown Slew won one of them (Met Mile day). Don't recall seeing any since.
