lawyer ron

[1st_Saturday_in_May]

He's not quick enough to sprint, so races 6f - 7f are out. He's probably not classy enough to beat the top milers in the country, and outside of the Cigar Mile and Met Mile, theres nothing really for milers anyway. He could make some good money in 8.5f races, but theres nothing Grade 1 at that distance either. Have to think that the owners would love to get a Grade 1 win for this one, and if that's teh case its likeliest to come at 9f. Holthus needs to get this horse to rate consistently, and McKee needs to know not to hammerlock him down the backstretch, and if those two happen I think he has the goods to win a Grade 1 next year!

i hope so, i really like him. i hope they bring him back next year to get that grade 1.

please don't say it is something about retiring him. that would be awful

'Bamberger said plans are to run Lawyer Ron as a 4-year-old next year if he is sound and racing well.'

that was from the article from way back in may when they sold an interest in the colt after his owner passed away.
it's good news i suppose, since i had thought originally that they planned to retire him at the end of the year....

he will stand at stonewall when he retires.

I was more impressed with his effort on Saturday than any of his other races. He was rank as can be and strangled and still finished with interest and was hard to pass. He'll be a really good older horse.

Oh, mera nothing you say is going to get you in trouble, unless its totally stupid and off topic. I see your good friend Blockheadd has been banned from the site by the way, or he deleted his account...
