congrats
 

this was a home run for deetee you got the win and got the claim now you can do some shopping and hopefully come up with a pa bred that will supply some money for the holidays

Bob Seeger for Plumstead Racing. Hope that's a good new home for him.

The retards here in Kentucky don't get it either. Maybe Smarty Jones getting sent to Pennsylvania will make them open their eyes.

Redboard King entered back Tuesday for the new connections Robert J Seeger and his Plumstead Stables. Seems like Seeger can't find the winner's circle at the same rate he did prior to his suspension...odd.

We are going to be shopping at the Keeneland sale today for a possible replacement for RBK. Steve will keep you updated on the potential hip numbers, most sell later in the day and there are lots of scratches so the sale should move along. Our emphasis is going to be on a winter horse for Parx so no turf and most importantly must have conditions.

Cool...good luck!

So, this possible purchase will replace RBK in this partnership????

D'Tara is looking for a good home. :D

Yes.

Watching the feed for R2 @ Parx - NOT impressed with the way RBK is being handled....

2nd by a neck or so
 

Looks like he ran well. the 7 was closing hard. Good for RBK in his first start with his new owners

We were interested in 3210, a 3yo Tiznow filly. Went for $15,000.

About 20 hips away from a 2yo colt we may try to land.

3267(Tawaared) just went through for 30k I think, must be broke down to be sold for that low after those last three performances

3275 (Unbridled Heart) in the ring now, another cripple I think, isn't this the horse that freaked first or 2nd and hasn't done a thing since?

He definitely won't sell for more than the money he's burned!

what was the problem?

Find anything today @ the Keeneland sales?

chip in knee that probably needs to come out. If he wasn't by UBS I would be a little more opmistic about his return.

I didnt find anything that fit within our budget restrictions. A few that we were looking at went for double what I thought they were worth. Hip number 3280 was a ghostzapper 2 yo that just ran 2nd in a fairly weak mdn 15 at Hawthorne with a 41 beyer. He was ok looking, nothing special but he would have fit at Parx in a 12500 maiden claimer. Figured he was going to be between 7500-10000. Went for 32000.

Not too sure about your list. What am I missing

hmmm, no idea. you would think that the leading sire of PA breds for 2010 would be the same no matter who published it. I think your list is probably correct.

Redboard King: 1/10/11
 

Just won the 6th at Penn National

Redboard winner at Penn National this evening. Gate to wire.

Good for him. I thought he was the best horse in the 4 horse partnership. Too bad he's still not in the partnership, but I wish him well wherever he is and hope he continues his winning ways.

I feel the same way

At a certain point you have to ask yourself and team when is it time to get a win to stop asborbing the costly expense of owning a racehorse. Dropping to that 7.5k level was exactly the right move off his effort before the race. He is and will be a nickel claimer, good nickel claimers get claimed, it isn't like he was gonna be an allowance horse. A 10nw3 race at Penn National is probably like the 7.5nw3 at Philly. I'll grant anyone that a win is a win, but when Chuck get one claimed off him, not many go on to improve.

I don't she meant anything by her statement.......but, thanks for the input, some of us know the game ;)

Couldn't agree more with your message and I'm glad you wrote it.

And, if I may add - even after a horse gets claimed from a partnership/trainer, it's ok for that horse to go on and do well for his/her new owners!!! As the former owner, I've never been embarrassed if the horse makes some money and wins a few races for the new owner. It's OK!!

Turning over horses can be profitable and no partnership or owner can survive by constantly losing money.....

Again, I don't think her post meant anything wrong......we understand that part of the game :)

Somebody's saying I'm wrong? LOL! Get on line. I understand the game - just disappointed he's no longer in the partnership even if he's just a "nickel claimer". He's running, he's sound, he's making some money. Continued good journeys for him. Looking forward to hearing about a replacement in the partnership.

You understand the claiming part of the game, or all the costs that go into the game?

Wouldn't this be classified as a redboard?

I always wonder how people know this?

Some people just know everything.

Fortunately for me I married one of them.

:zz:

Hey, get in line people!!

He's run at least 10 times since April and no report of injuries or problems were reported to the partnership.

While your reasoning may seem valid, you really don't know if he is sound or not. Assumptions like this are one of the reasons why this business is so misunderstood.

The horse was given a chance to prove that he was better than a cheap, non-winners type of horse. He didn't show that he was and we ran him in a spot where we thought we had the best chance of winning. The fact that someone claimed him (there was only 1 claim) is simply the risk you take when you enter claiming races. We replaced him with another horse who got claimed on the raise. You win some, you lose some. Hindsight in terms of claiming or not claiming horses is pointless.

Chuck, I'm not questioning your putting him in a claiming race. I fully realize that's where he had to have been placed. I'm just regretting that he got claimed - that's all. Out of 4 horses in the partnership, we're down to one - Lloydobler. He has yet to break his maiden. The other two horses - Missus Mayflower and Run Burgandy didn't work out - they're off, hopefully, to green pastures elsewhere. So, of the 4 horses, Redboard King has done the best. That's all I'm saying. And, I truly hope the new owners/trainers are not racing an unsound horse if that's what he is.

Explain it to me........:p yes, a matter a fact I do!
