Uh... I think I just mistakenly transcribed it when I typed 98.

But I'll go ahead and ask what snide point were you trying to make anyway...

For those that are actually interested in what goes on in racing, Bret Calhoun was on ATR today and talked about Canigotoo. Pretty funny story as owners Durant and Jordan had visited the late L T Smith's farm to purchase a different horse, and the Widow Smith said she's make the deal if they took the Menhal colt as well. They did, and he thereby earned the name 'Canigotoo'. Owners want to go to Saratoga for the Hopeful, but Calhoun is thinking along more conservative lines. They will pay the $6k though and make him BC eligible.

It is amazing how some of these horses find their way to the races...

Presque Isle Downs was so thankful to Calhoun for sending two horses up for the two 100K stakes this week - that they were going to give him 20% off his dinner.

The clubhouse manager was so embarassed when they told her - that she just went ahead and comped the dinner outright.

That Beyers are far more subjective than people think and to question them doesn't make you an ahole anymore than anyone who blindly believes every number they read....Ala, the ridiculous figs given in some of the synthetic races that depended much more on the competition, level of the race, or name of horse in the race, Zenyatta, than actually any times....it has been discussed by many other than me, many a time on this here website. Nothing snide involved. But questioning the 100 in the other thread brought out the haters so I have to keep it real. For s.hit's sake.

I saw a tweet a couple of days ago that the Beyer was downgraded to a 96. The original fig was 98.

Canigotoo will never win a race outside of the state of Texas.

I'd bet against that. He can certainly win a race in Louisiana, Oklahoma, or New Mexico.

There are few non-state bred stakes in those states

What kind of odds will you give me on that. Calhoun is a very good trainer that is underated imo. Canigotoo will win in the fall at other tracks,not saying it will be in the BC though,but you never know. It will be interesting to see.

If the horse were with Baffert,Pletcher,or a few other national trainers, people would be raving about him.

Aren't you supposed to give me odds?

We'll find out this Saturday night. He's entered in the Prairie Gold Juvenile at Prairie Meadows.
Shocktime, mentioned later in the thread is entered in the Lassie on the same card. Due to the State shutdown in MN, we're driving down to Iowa on Saturday for a wild night in Altoona, IA.

Based on what I'm reading, you'd better stock up on any Miller/Coors products you like while you're there!! Canigotoo will be short odds-----a wild night in Altoona will be long odds. Enjoy!!

He gets another shot today. At least his running style fits the track condition. Thats the only positive I can come up with.
