7/26 (CT): Rampillion runs 3rd, is claimed..

Thanks Riot,

I agree with you. Thanks for keeping the cyber check on her.

I had some friends that bred a horse and ran him around 10 times before he got claimed. This was before we had all this great computer/internet resourses to follow the horses. They followed him by paper (DRF postings) until they saw a two month gap from his last start. Found him, bought him back and someone rehabilitated his sore ankle that stoped him from racing and made him into a nice hunter.

Our responsibilty, no matter how much success they have had as a racer does not end after the last start.

Great to be a Dee Tee member.

So if she is entered for $10K or less next out could we claim her right back?

She's got to run for 25% more in claiming price for the next 30 days. If she runs back in a claimer within 30 days, she'll have to run for $12.5k, or more, plus 6% sales tax.

Do you suggest to claim her back for $13250?

Did you also happen to notice that the race before hers on Sunday was a $4k claimer for nw3 lifetime and, taking liberties in extrapolating out fractions for comparison, the winner of that race ran a faster 6.5f time than Rampy's final time?

So, let's say she is running for $12.5k nw2 claiming next time and you claim her. She wins the race so then her next race is a nw3 lifetime. What level do you run her at if she wouldn't have won for $C4k nw3 on Sunday?

One other thing to remember about claiming at Charles Town, the horse is in jail for 60 days after the claim and has to be raced at Charles Town for that period of time.

right. emotions aside, she wouldn't be a sensible horse to try to claim back right now. but i can't think why the money from the claim couldn't be put to good use for another horse.

Go back to post #52 from Chuck in which he very eloquently details why. It's in the contract.

And while I'd love nothing more than to have another runner in the Mid-Atlantic right now, I'm also a firm supporter of following a contract.

I'm also a firm believer that where there's a will, there's a way..... 8-)

i read the post, and know what the deal was. but he also said 'Quite frankly we felt as though the partners may be more interested in rolling over the amount left into another horse as opposed to simply waiting for the final disbursement especially since there are no training expenses as with all the partnerships.' i also don't see why there wouldn't be interest in a claim, since the deal also said 'two horses' which would return the # to 2-and since aldeb is still running, and no disbursement in the offing, i would rather let the money go to use, rather than sit. but like i said earlier, just my opinion as an observer in this case.
