I don't think things are looking too good for BR. It will be a surprise if he ever runs again. They are trying to bring him back but if you take a look at his work tab it looks like they're having a difficult time with him. Every time he works, he need 3 weeks to recover. His first work was almost two months ago and he's only had two works since then.
If he does somehow make it back, don't expect him to last for more than a race or two.
It's too bad that we never got to see what this horse was really capable of. He had a ton of talent.

You should be aware of the Rockport Harbor/Bellamy Road "Lifetime Starts" Under/Over Pool.

Back in April 2005 ... on another forum ... someone mentioned the future prospects of both horses. I then created a scenario in which I set 9.5 as the "under/over" number for the combined total of all future lifetime starts for both horses.

The actual number of starts for both horses ... over the 17+ months since then ... is 4

So .. which way would you bet against a total of 9.5 starts for both horses ... "under" or "over"?
