If the $11,441 results in a catastrophic breakdown... noway

Give him several months off, then go for the million mark if that's your goal. He can breed mares in the spring and race later in the year. jmo

RP did an awesome job keeping his sanity and his horse on the path to success in spite of BBJ's owner. Kiddos to RP for a great job under the circumstances. thumbsup

I could fill this string with ET stories shootme

Post by: tonyb147 on December 14, 2011, 08:14:18 AM: Could BBJ be coming back to race briefly after the 1st of the year simply to say he raced as a 4yr old and satisfy Gural's new policy on retiring 3yr olds? I know nothing about the specific language that Gural put together but couldn't he stand stud in the spring and then race a few times later in the year?

They have changed that to not go into affect until next year. So it affects the 2 year olds turning 3 and not the horses that have been retired this year

loved Big Bad John's heart, but was a thin horse and not much to look at, I don't see him as a dominating sire and he is a Western, so many crosses with WH out there.
