From what I hear, retirement is VERY near. He has some # in his head that he wants to attain and then hang it up, but no one I talked to knows what it is. He has been given nut mounts from Calabrese/Catalano to get him to this mark fairly quickly.

What is interesting is that today's rides were not typical Earlie rides. Good for him excelling at his age.....

Perhaps he will retire when he moves into 9th on the all-time list. Needs 8 more winners to do that.

No, ET pissed them off. They go through jocks weekly.

Calabrese/Catalano gun for this meet, they make sharp claims in the winter and have them ready to run, Rebounded is perfect example. Dropped in for 30k they take him, knowing that the horse can dominate the allowance optionals that Arlington loves to run. This horse will win 3-4 races this summer.

But, they are abnormally hot, usually take some time to get going but they are unstoppable right now. I'll tell you this, if you catch their cold streak, you will be making a bundle of money
