He wanted to run Curlin at 4 the court case didn't hurt running him at 4 but I never thought he would have retired the colt at 3.

no court case, no hold up on a stud deal. he'd have retired him in a heartbeat for the $$$. since he was hamstrung, he went for the earnings record since he was already running curlin.

Why because 80% of 30mil is changing Jess's lifestyle... I am fairly positive that is incorrect..

well, i don't know what to tell you. the 30 mill might not be life-changing, but jess hasn't built his bottom line by not doing the best thing financially. curlin would earn scads more in the barn than he would on the track..and jackson said a hundred times or more that 'curlin could contribute to the gene pool'. he wanted a deal after the bcc, none was forthcoming because no one wanted a part of the midnight cry b.s. he tried to resolve it and could not.

I have two questions.

1. If the preakness fills without RA isn't she still on the outside looking in as she wasn't originally nominated to the TC?

2. Who will Borel ride?

I'm bummed as I was hoping to never have to look a Jess Jackson's Mugg again.

my guess is Borel will stick with MTB and Robbie Albarado will get to ride RA if she goes

It's funny how a change in ownership can have a direct effect on one's rooting interest. I loved RA after the Oaks, now I don't know how I feel.

They better hope that check clears before Robbie gets aboard her.

But I have a hard time believing that 2 weeks after calling Rachel the best horse he's ever ridden, that he will willingly get off of her.
ya think even that troothless pinhead knows which horse is the fastest
