Rapid Redux

[Calzone Lord]

I suppose if they wanted to try -- they could write a $7,500 non-time restricted starter alw race -- and offer weight breaks down to horses who've started for less before.

Make the purse 50K. Get horses who've started for 5K a good weight break via the conditions. Ask the connections which distance they want the race at (probably 8fs) and you'd possibly have him there for it...even though it's doubtful he'd be able to win such a race.

I suppose it could spice up a weekday card and make for a fun betting race... but I don't exactly think getting RR to race in NY is high on the priority list yet.

Some coincidence. Or is it?

RAPID REDUX
In 2011 Rapid Redux became the toast of the racing world, setting a a modern-era record of 22 consecutive wins by a U.S. horse and tied the great Citation with 19 wins in a single season. His athletic accomplishments and immense popularity merited the 2011 Secretariat "Vox Populi" Award for the chestnut gelding, securing his place in racing history and in the hearts of fans of all ages.

Acclaimed equine artist Jaime Corum captures Rapid Redux in a stunning classic portrait of the "people's champ," wearing his familiar and distinctive green bridle and shadow roll. Like his celebrated great, great-grandfather Secretariat, Rapid Redux carries the alert expression and intelligent eye that often coincides with courageous heart demonstrated on the racetrack. Honoring this royal lineage, a small remarque of the 1973 Triple Crown winner adorns the lower left corner of the print.

Cole Jr., trainer David Wells, and "The First Lady of Racing," Penny Chenery at no extra charge!. Measures 11" x 14" and printed on heavy art stock.

I actually think the painting isn't that bad.

In the last twenty minutes I've read that Sand Cove who was a really really nice horse died of laminitis and Jungle Wave of colic.

I'm bringing these up because I know you know, all of us know, how ****ing many horses are gone because of these horribly dreaded words.

Research costs money, retirement costs money, all the charities need our help.

Many of us give but for some of us it isn't much, isn't as much as we wish we could,some cannot give anything at all but gladly would if they were in a position to...

So my friend I just want to remind people that a portion of every single item sold on that site is given to charity.

Would I buy it? No.

If it were one of the silly, slow borderline failure race horses that I love (and there are an awful lot of those ) ?

Sure.

He has fans and it is a nice thing to have for people who like him, I'd imagine.

Good for them. I hope they sell a ton of them.

It's ridiculous to use the name Citation in the same paragraph BUT for some people he is a blue collar, present day cultural icon (okay that word is a littl eover the toip but I'm making a point!).

So what if they're people who don't follow racing like we do. Let them have their hero. We know how he rates but there's never anything wrong with rooting for the little guy and finding creative ideas for the raising of necessary funds.

Penny Chenery is like the Betty White of the racing world.

It's been played.

So played.
