Big Truck - NY bred

[sumitas]

He is a "true" NY bred in that his sire Hook And Ladder is NY based. He is now the #1 leading sire in NY after Big Truck's win. There are so many "NY breds" that are conceived outside NY but dropped in NY, making them a NY bred.

You can see "NY breds" by Kitten's Joy, Pulpit, Giacamo, Smarty Jones etc, etc. Makes it kind of tough to compete for NY breeders that use NY based stallions.

That must partly be a reason for sires like Utopia, Andromeda's Hero, Golden Missile, Smooth Jazz etc to locate to NY. Local breeders need access to compete with the carpet baggers.

If you don't like the carpetbaggers, get the rules changed or put your mare on a van. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

You've got to be kidding with this.. For starters, the purses and awards, as well as NYRA's commitment to the NYB program, are outageously disproportionate to the quality of the racing. For that alone, the NY breeder should be grateful...

The monies made available to the poor, unfortunate "NY breeders that use NY based stallions" are STILL there after the 'carpetbagger' breeders' runners, who enhance the profile of the program, clear their NY bred conditions. It seems that at some point, every slow-moving NY bred barge manages to find a port...

IN POINT OF FACT... NY breeders who are using the NY sires should be grateful for the higher profile and more talented artificial NY breds as their presence in the program helps the muskrats amass earnings far out of whack with their talent by retaining NYB conditions LONGER.

It's the NY taxpayer's money and it is mostly benefitting the upper echelon of racing which are out of staters. I don't see why NY money needs to subsidize out of state interests. If anything, the incentives could be cut and targeted for "true" NY breds, those sired and foaled in NY.

But that won't happen so "true" NY breds will have to continue to slam dunk the fakes.

I am not sure that people are going to get to excited watching "True NY Bred" blaze 6f's in 115.4..At least this way you have a shot to develop a Precise End and Freud.

Isn't the idea of the NYB program to support the farms in New York state that breed horses?

I would think there are a lot of individuals employeed at farms in New York to care for all of the mares and their foals that they birth each year in New York regardless of where the stallion stands. I think letting mares breed outside of New York and allowing the resultant foal to qualify as NY Breds is a good thing. At a minimum it should improve the quality of NY bred racing if not he "class" of NY Breds.

NY will probably never compete with Kentucky for recruiting the top stallions but to prevent NY mares from breeding to them would be a disservice to NY Breeders and probably drive many breeders with top borderline mares to leave NY for greener pastures elsewhere. This would be a huge step backwards for the NY program as the qualify of NY Bred races would decline while the purses hopefully increase.

Don't forget about Spanky Fischbein (another Hook and Ladder.)

I saw Hook And Ladder one time in the paddock at the spa. Kimmel was saddling him. As I recall he was slightly built.

He's a nice looking hoss IMO. Pretty 'racey' looking, but he seems to have a decent amount of bone and a nice shoulder.
