The Green Monkey: I'll be the first to say it

[PPerfectfan]

What u didnt see was the scrapes on his hocks...........From the ambulance that trails the races, kept going up behind him and giving him the "bump and run" cause he was going so slow!!!

may 25th, someone on this board told me, "i've seen the horse and he can't run a step!" looked like a pretty good assessment.

actually, and you can ask drugS about this one, i saw his 2yo sale workout before he sold and thought he'd go for around 100k, not 16 mil.

he didnt look good at all.

well, at this rate, about 3200 starts, and he'll earn his purchase price back....

With Pletcher training him, he should make that 3200th start by the year 2647.

I guess they needed more time with him..lol... Here's a quote by Pletcher after the race...

Had he known beforehand the race would be run so quickly, Pletcher said the outcome would not have been surprising. “I could have told you, he probably wouldn’t have been ready for that,” he said.

Would it not be fantastic to see his next start in a $40KMC..

Excellent, a redboard of an overpriced, poor running yearling sale graduate. Very creative!

yeah, true enough.

it's not like i ever slammed tgm on these boards before he ran.

i was probably his biggest fan and supporter on here.

Which was the most disapointing race for Michael Tabor?

1) The Green Monkey finishing a tiring third in his First Start?
2) The Leapord finishing an uninspiring 5th in the Futurity?
3) Rags To Riches losing the Gazelle?

Those three horses cost him a total of 20 million dollars.

I don't think they should be too disappointed with Rags, she should improve a lot from that run and was game in defeat.

The other two have given them something to think about though.

Rags was probably the biggest disappointment. The other two are just plain slow horses. She's the only one with talent.

The Pletcher machine has been off the track for over 2 months now.
