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....

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

Quite a call by Durkin. Very fast post on youtube. Very impressive effort.

What really strikes me is how bad the name really sounds during a race call. I mean, if Durkin make that name sound good, nobody can. Even if he miraculously turns out great, he's a dud in name for all time. He should stand stud at that Green Monkey golf course. Seems fitting.

I didn't think he was a sprinter so I bet everyone to show hoping that he would run out of the money. Yes, a very disappointing 3rd. Especially for those that wanted him to be no better than 4th.

He didnt run bad, they drilled the 6. He was just spinning early, hell win at that level and beyond. Not what you want for 16 million, but they usually arent when you pay that much.
