good morning mr nut!!! how are you? zeigler06 might be a more familiar name to you than my current one....
bellamy road remains in 'training'. he was removed from nick zitos care, and given over to the manager of kinsman farm...name is sexton i believe. altho he is still in trainining, i only know of one recorded work. would love to see him on the track again, as he showed a ton of talent before the derby when he suffered an injury, as well as his fantastic run in the travers before being sidelined for the year.

yeah, I figure he'll probably be retired
and we'll be left wondering "what if" which we've been there before w/ so many but we'll always have Wood!

I think he's up to two works now and was going to start in an allowance race at Calder at the end of the month. Dont hold your breath waiting for him though...

Tragically mismanaged horse. Had no business running in the Travers without a prep or two. Zito had to know better, must have been Steinbrenner's call. McPeek tried the same thing with Repent a couple of years back with the same result - horse was short just a bit but tried his heart out, finished second, and got hurt again. Even if a colt is a natural stayer, like Repent and Bellamy Road looked to be, they can't be ready for a 10f G1 off of workouts when coming back from injury.

When latest Training Wizard Ed Sexton took over his training ( and final unfortunate nail in his coffin ) he proclaimed, among many stupid comments, that he was responsible for " all " the decisions involving the horse last year. Thus, I guess the Travers experiment would have to fall squarely in his lap.
Personally, I feel worse about this horse than I think I have ever felt about any horse. I just know he's a monster, and would love to have seen him even get a chance to definitively prove it ( or disprove it so we would know one way or the other ), and this guy Sexton has pretty much secured that that will never happen. There are so few genuinely good horses these days that to see this one wasted, especially due to completely unwarranted and unearned arrogance, is a true shame.

... is now a better trainer than Nick Zito and Ken McPeek. Hey Nicky ... take those Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes trophies off your mantle ... and give them to the Pigaree Princess ... ... and in return ... she'll tell you what a great stallion Sir Gallahad was. Yeah ... that'd be a fair exchange.

I don't think things are looking too good for BR. It will be a surprise if he ever runs again. They are trying to bring him back but if you take a look at his work tab it looks like they're having a difficult time with him. Every time he works, he need 3 weeks to recover. His first work was almost two months ago and he's only had two works since then.
If he does somehow make it back, don't expect him to last for more than a race or two. It's too bad that we never got to see what this horse was really capable of. He had a ton of talent.

Back in April 2005 ... on another forum ... someone mentioned the future prospects of both horses. I then created a scenario in which I set 9.5 as the "under/over" number for the combined total of all future lifetime starts for both horses. The actual number of starts for both horses ... over the 17+ months since then ... is 4 So .. which way would you bet against a total of 9.5 starts for both horses ... "under" or "over"?

LOL, the man, not the horse although he'll be joining me here soon perhaps with my degree in equine sci I can get a job holding his penis! "so, Mr. S it's so nice to meet you... what do you do?"
