Ah someone got it mixed with race 3 (1 1/16 on turf for maiden 3yo and up). His is race 2 I bet. Here's the condition book. http://www.equibase.com/premium/eqbH...0815-20070903D

Seems much more sane then (can't imagine 1 1/16 on turf for his debut). It's only 6 furlongs also, not 6.5. Must be prepping for the BC sprint eh?

more likely race 4 at 6 1/2.. since race 2 is for 2 year olds

Go the Monkey! A true underdog tale.

Forget Funny Cide retirement party.....they need to go all out for The Green Monkey's inevitable retirement soon!! They better have saved that song for him.

Yeah I keep forgetting he's no spring chicken. Time flies when you're a monkey with a pulled butt muscle.

Just lurking to blow away in the next steeplechase. Voss or Shepard going to by privatly for 20k and get him some black type in the hurdles so he will have some stud value.

[deltagulf]

its about time he tries to race. to show if he has anything good. or a big bust!!

I just read this on Handicappers Edge today:

Unraced three-year-old THE GREEN MONKEY (Forestry), who sold for a world-record $16 million at auction in 2006, stopped the watch in 1:00 3/5.

When asked if The Green Monkey would be ready to make his debut by the end of the Saratoga meet, Pletcher indicated that "it will be close."


My guess is he does'nt run....
