Week/Weekend Stakes Beyers: Authentic 105

[Dahoss]

Steve come on...I’m familiar with her work tab and race record. Don’t do that.

5 starts through September of your 3 year old season, even with Covid doesn’t scream warhorse. She’s worth a lot of money as a broodmare. Way more money than she could probably earn on the track.

I hope she runs 20 more times. But is anyone going to be surprised if she runs 2 more times?

I was playfully (I thought) needling you about the Gary Young comment. Of course the guy who bought the horse is going to speak highly of her. Hes self promoting. Being a generational talent (whatever that means nowadays) means he’s good at picking horses out. And he is.

I was trying to have some fun with you.

My question would be a simple one. Does she have to run and excel at 9f or more in order to be deemed great? I know that in this country, dirt runners that compete at 9f (females) and 10f (males) are considered the best but I’ve never looked at it that way. We look down on sprinters and grass horses usually as horses that failed to continue on to the classic distances on dirt. So my question to Dahoss is this, is there anything that Gamine could do, even if she ran regularly next year, that would be good enough to call her a generational talent if she’s kept at 7-8f?

Of course she could. Again, I’m not sure what that means nowadays anyway....but yes she could do things next year and at the end of this year that would make me think she’s generational

I also don't know what it means. I think of generational as once every 18-20 years and she certainly appears good but I don't know if she's that. If he means best of her class, I could agree with that although she didn't help her case in the Oaks. If she stays at sprinting and one-turn miles, I think she'll have a hard time making a case to be generational in any sense unless she goes on to face makes and takes races like the Met Mile and Forego.
