That's my home track. Yay Ellis!! Wish I could make it to the races Wednesday. That would be a treat.

This horses line reads like a trotter at Northfield Park.

152 - 16 - 14 - 18

206,000

Good luck gramps

Hate to judge, but this is ridiculous. Hope the old guy comes out of the race OK.

I would say half your age the 7 years is the youngest you should go and anyone over 45 is tool old.

I actually remember beting on that horse
nows my chance to get my money back?

Yeah it's fantastic.

Although I have to admit the new owner has done a hell of a job with the backside. New roofs on just about every barn and he got rid of that horrible stucco.

Wish I had $4k to claim him and give him a good retirement. Poor fella.

Sheesh! I'd hate to take some of you to Ellis. 9 races of brokedown mules would force me to drive you down to Western States in Hopkinsville and drop you off.

wonder if they still have my old room....

The horses connections are doing this to obviously show the sheiks, the coolmores, the blue bloods, etc. that you don't need to retire your horse at age 2... or 3... or even 7 lol. Retiring a horse at age 2 on one extreme, still racing at 17 on another extreme, how about finding a happy medium lol?

I do. But then again I feel sorry for retards and old people but some of them compete in athletic competitions. The only odd thing about this is it's an old horse running against a few younger retards.

17 yrs old = too old for racing
