Reputation came in a well fought 4th, after a delayed start, poor break & being swung 6 wide around the turn. Got a little tired at the end.
Very good feedback from her jockey. She should be ready to fire next time out.
Seismic Beauty dominated the G2 Santa Margarita.
From the lowest lows with Mr. Clementās passing to the highest highs with the absolute romp of Seismic Beauty in the Santa Margarita Stakes!
This sport can bring you down & then bring you right back up again.
ADTR breaks his maiden is fine fashion.
He definitely is figuring this game out & he looked more comfortable with the blinkers off.
After a long, long wait Identiy Crisis made his debut today & after a bit of bumping at the start & along the way, came in 3rd.
Canāt wait to see what heāll do after getting this first race under his belt.
Blue Devil was a total no show in the super slop today, finished 7th.
We still have Sweet Voyage running on the 28th.
Got a message from MRH that Kanthari, the first horse I bought shares in, is going to be or by now has been put down. Talented as a turf sprinter (won at five furlongs in 54.53), but rarely sound. MRH retired him to a rescue, but he had serious hoof infirmities, was in pain. MRH did the right thing.
I saw that on fb and am glad they did right by him. RIP Kanthari
Pisses me off that they waited as long as they did to finally do the right thing.
It was very obvious from the get go that he was beyond help, yet they used him to solicit for donations under the guise of āhelping himā.
Aww! Such a lovely foal!
The ārescueā was fundraising off of him, or MRH?
Does anyone know if Star Six Nine is still alive? He never started after a wobblers diagnosis and was turned out at Silver Springs with the promise that heād be cared for and a decision would be made if/when his symptoms progressed.
MRH closed out the account about a year later and there were no more updates. I wonāt fault them for putting him down - he had at least a year of enjoying a life of leisure, and with something like wobblers itās always better to euthanize earlier than later.
The rescue posted him all over their SM seeking donations & asking former microshare owners to chip in for his care & medical bills.
AFAIK Star 69 is still with the person that adopted him from Silver Springs (one of the assistants working there) & he is doing well.
I did not read closely at the time, but upon re-reading it appears that the rescue did the fundraising. However, it also apppears to me that MRH was complicit.
The 3 new offerings are available on the buy page.
That is a good idea but maybe you can start a thread devoted to that topic. Pretty sure it will be appreciated and the info far easier to find in its own thread.
While you wonāt have a chance to make money (for yourself) with this offering. Thereās the possibility of making money for the aftercare of those needing it.
Improbable Luck & Incredible are about to run in race 8 at Churchill
Oh man, that was embarrassing & so bad.
Time to move them both onto new careers.
