I beg to differ. Forty years ago, there were many more people involved in the sport who bred TBs in order to race them. Now most breeders breed for the commercial market, and the vast majority of the best horses are offered to the public every year.

Yup, I donât buy expensive purses or shoes, etc, I buy bits of racehorses 
I love being a part of it. I do have a spreadsheet of what Iâve spent vs what I get back but I think itâs more to keep me grounded than anything.

I had to snicker at this! I also consider my itty-bitty shares as entertainment, which is a good thing because I checked my MRH wallet yesterday for fun and was amused to find that Chasing Time has earned me $12 and change so far. Good boy! Thatâs the first money that ANY of my horses ever earned me, lol!

Just saw that Power Up Paynter is pending adoption through New Vocations. It would be nice if it was one of his MRH owners who was able to adopt him.

Miss Sakamoto is running in the 4th race at Gulfstream Park this afternoon. Sheâs listed as the favorite and I need to educate myself about the company she is running with.
Super excited to see how she does in her 2nd start!
Me, too!

Miss Sakamoto got second today! I didnât see the race, but it sounds like her connections were pleased.

I thought she did very well. Clean break, bided her time (maybe a bit too much) and closed strongly. The chat on her owners page is that she seems to want to run longer.

Iâm going to see if this works but this should be Canât Hush This before his race yesterday looking spiffy. He didnât perform great but the experience was still electric getting to see him race in person.
Edit: I personally think this was a throwaway race, I think he definitely has the talent just needs to put it together.

Disappointed, but thatâs racing. (owner)
Saying she finished fifth makes it sound like she did a lick of running, which she did not. She was last by a long way. Waiting to hear from Mandella on how she and FK came out of their races.
I was surprised both of them did so poorly! I only have Micro Share, but sheâd seemed to be working wellâI wonder if that mild fever effected her more than they realized? I was quite worried about that, given the EHV in CA. Which Iâm guessing has also effected racing, given the light entry numbers?

Forbidden Kingdom appears to have had an excuse.
Thatâs a shame.
Hero Status is making his debut this Saturday.
Hero Status drew Post 10 in the eleven-horse field, which is carded as Race 10 and has a 5:30 p.m. PT post time. Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith, who had been working the colt, will be aboard.

Hero Status raced wide the whole way and got third, a promising start. No one was catching the winner, who was one of three 4yos in the field.

Itâll be exciting to see him stretch out to longer distances, hopefully thatâs his next step. Thoroughly pleased with this effort.
