Can't wait for the big showdown...

Helliskier has only run against MN breds. I was disappointed after the CBY meet ended last fall, that Robertson didn't try running him against open company at Hawthorne or Oaklawn last fall or this past winter.

MN breds are pretty funky, so he's beating up on not much. The thing that kinda doesn't motivate Robertson to branch out against open company, is in the middle of the Canterbury meet last year was when they struck the purse agreement/partnership with Mystic Lake Casino. So the purses immediately went up, and will continue this way for years to come. So with all that money infused into the purses, what motivation do they have to run him against open company?

He could seriously become a poor-man's Star Guitar lol. I'm hoping that if he keeps dominating MN-breds, and he's seriously not just beating them, he's dominating them- that his connections will at least try him in an open allowance race somewhere. If he does well in that, try and move him up a little further. It's just tough to tell how good he actually is if he only runs against MN Breds. Let's see how this summer goes and see if its still worth discussing at that point.
