Let me know when I'm close so I can go out of town for a while

I tried to put a group together to claim him when he was in for $20k at the Meadowlands, but he scratched. He's one of the last sons of Seattle Slew out of a GSP mare, and certainly seems to be worth a lot more than $20k.Too bad they sent him out to TP.

Ideally you could run him in NY and get the extra NY bred bonus money but the 35k claimers on the turf there may be a bit too tough for him now and there are no NY bred races that he fits anymore.

NYB's have a lot of O/C races now (versus being previously straight allowances), he'd fit well in those, if not the fakestakes they run on a weekly basis.

He is not what he was. He is at best a 35 claimer on the turf, maybe. Plus he was always a horse that had lots of spacing between races, rarely running more than a few times a year. His stud value is close to zero.
