We are almost 3/4ths of the way through 2009 ... and so far the best Beyer figure earned in a sprint race this year is 115.
From Jan 3rd of '99 to Oct 6th of '01 .. Kona Gold made 15 starts and had an avg Beyer of 115.33 over those 15 races. He made 5 starts in 1999 ... running Beyers of 115, 115, 115, 115, and 123. In those 5 starts ... he managed to win only one race. |

Had a friend with lovely grey eventing horse (a TB) she called Teddy (for Teddy Bear). He was kind and honest, so gentle she could ride around with her toddler in front of her in the saddle. One morning he didn't come to the gate to be led in for his breakfast; they searched the paddock and found him down with a broken shoulder. Never found out how he did it. All those years of running cross-country courses with tricky fences and he was never seriously hurt, then when out in his pasture he managed to suffer a fatal injury. It happens.

Bigfoot. Seriously, there are cameras everywhere these days, why aren't people watching million-dollar horses 24/7?

so, you think if there was someone watching him, he wouldn't have gotten hurt? more like they'd have seen it happen, but it would have still happened.
