well..maybe not from the trainers point of view!

I see your point. I don't know... to me, when I first saw this, I thought oh okay they want to be paid to be rid of him.

Very happy he gets to go somewhere good now (and I wish the same for Workin' for Hops. He's not in the same boat as this guy but wow... a 5k claimer on Friday isn't exactly where I thought he'd end up).

Hate seeing them sink...

and it could be they were hoping to get a claim for him. i remember the horse a few years ago bought by a dt poster after he was hurt. they still wanted some dough, even tho they wanted rid of the horse.

She wasn't hurt, she ran worse than 4th so many times she couldn't race at Mountaineer Park anymore. Hoping something good happens for Workin For Hops after today's race.

i'm sorry, i'm not sure what you're talking about? edit--you guys rescued a horse, right?

the horse i'm talking about in regards to a dter getting wasn't a filly, wasn't at mountaineer. scavs helped out with the transaction, i think the horse was in the midwest. maybe he can clarify.

Yesss how is ol' Nopie? Long time no hear about.

[my miss storm cat]

Wish I knew! Derby Cat hasn't been around in over two years. I had pm'd her a few times...

Nothing.

Hope they are both well... maybe Scavs knows?

(To update Workin' for Hops was scratched yesterday).
