Default lawyer ron

i am not sure if this has been brought up. i know lawyer ron can go long, but have they tried to go shorter. he seems keen to go to the front and probably would have won if it was shorter, but is that something that anyone thinks they may try?

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!

'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.

this lady cut me off yesterday
had Arkansas plates and a bumper sticker
"I love KY-bred Lawyer Ron"
my mood lightens, "Zig?"
waved but she didn't wave back
so it could have been Zig
didn't understand the bumber sticker
"Ky-bred" since most of them are KY-bred
"I love Lawyer Ron" would have been sufficient

I don't have a car, either. Maybe we could get tattoos, Mera? I'll get it tatooed on my bottom, which I'm told is one of my best features. Only the best for you, my beloved Ronnie!

Hilarious. Promise me you'll also get those streamers for the handlebars and a little bell to ring.

Maybe I'll try to get little Lawyer Ron stickers for my rollerblades.

A Kentucky breeders' association (exact name escapes me) has handed out these bumper stickers for years and years at Derby time, with the names of all the Kentucky-bred Derby contenders represented. Green with with letters, always the same format.
