Papua running for $5k tag today

A shame to see an old warrior like that dropped to this level. Hopefully he can get home safe.

He has been running at this level already, 3 times, winning two back about a month ago. Maybe the horse enjoys racing. The same trainer has him that claimed him for 30k earlier in the year still has him. Shouldn't the owner be entitled to try to get at least some of his money back if the horse is able to run?

I didn't mean anything negative about him still running...Obviously it's what he wants to do. I just want him to continue on safely and he does deserve a good home when he's done.

Uh oh, may have to rethink that opinion.

Seriously though, while a solid performer in his day, you can find horses just like him all over the country in the lower claiming ranks as they age. They are great for the game and I love when they stick around.
