Adagio claims?

[MISTERGEE]

Adagio is entered in the 9th at Gp on Wedn.. He lost by 4 lengths in the Grade I GPTurf Hcp in his last race on Feb. 6th, and the race before just missed for 50K after a troubled beginning. He had won his previous 4 races and 5 of his last 6. So the next logical step? He is entered for 15k. 2 questions how many claims and will he survive the race if he runs or is Dutrow just giving an early Xmas present to his fellow horseman?

It is a guarantee Rivelli, Catalano and Miller will all have claims on that horse if he does end up running because he will fit Arlington because he will then qualify for 16k starters up here.

You would think if the wheels havent fallen off he will win every race at that level

Since you've guaranteed it, I assume you will be very happy to give me 10:1 on the other side.

I'm not guaranteeing anything, but I'm almost certain you are dead wrong.

Ok, so used the wrong word of 'guarantee'. And I would never bet on something as stupid as this bet would be.

Those guys jump all over horses exactly like that, and I am sure you follow Illinois racing so closely you would know that. Gran Esteno comes to mind when claimed for 20 or 25k down at Gulfstream when he was being cut in half. Rivelli claimed that horse off of Dutrow I think, then he came here and romped and Stidham claimed him and won the Washington Park Handicap with him later in the meet.

Let me correct myself so we have to be so accurate, Gran Estreno was claimed for 20k after being dropped from 25k by Dutrow, then he romped up here and Stidham took him for 20k and moved him up the ladder.

I don't need to follow racing at Arlington even one bit to know that you are just typing.

Everyone understands why a horse has value as a claim, including Rick Dutrow, but they also understand why it might be dangerous to claim certain horses. Maybe Adagio is claimed, but then again, one might have thought the same thing when he ran twice for $25K, once in NY and once in NJ.

Hey, here's an idea, why don't you tell your boss to claim the horse....hell, he might not even have to win a shake to get this prize for those Arlington Starter Allowances. And, I'll tell my boss about these clever Starter races....as we gotta start running them in NY.

That isn't the type of horse that we claim, nor would we. The type of horse that we would have claimed ran yesterday at Philly in the 3rd race, and we passed.

Illinois guys don't claim in NY or NJ. But they do claim at Gulfstream, and have for years off of the NY guys dropping.
