they have joe bravo as a guest with andy and greg on "america's day at the races" and they discuss army mule for a minute or two as he rode him in his final career race at aqueduct the carter stakes ...it starts in the 33 minute mark on the you tube live stream if you want to see it..cool some of the things he revealsComment -
I do not keep up with his babies but when I see them I root them home. I noticed his fee dropped to 20K. Was that an industry wide phenomena? I have seen other fees drop also.Comment -
that's possible pigpen but just speculation as is my guess ..his fee went from $7.5k in 2022 to $12.5k in '23 and then $25k last year..that's a big jump % wise over a short period of time and maybe they felt he'd attract a few more takers at the slightly lower fee
the 2yo's this year will be the last from the $7.5k fee
so a good year with this crop would show a lot imo
..also these were conceived in 2022 which was his first crop of 2yo's so the breeders hadn't seen any of his progeny run and of course he did get a lot of good runners to start offComment -
alto road ..how about $4k conditioned claimers going sub 22 .. sub 45 .. sub 1:11 ..2nd by about a length @ 3/5Comment -
hey pigpen! For the most part it's an Industry wide thing......That's where the farm feels he will be competitive vs other stallions at that price range and how the prodigy have performed in the graded stakes level.
Iv'e been told that my horse (sieze the grey) studs,s fee probably will go down next year.... as most first time stallions fees do until the babies start showing up showing and people get a peak at conformation and then of course when they hit the race track.Comment -
Opening day I ,assume for Hawthorne. Track superintendent.... Hello ?? No dirt race had any horse that ever laid 4th or worse in the opening call win. Speed was ridiculous.
You guys/girls want winners? Here is how you find them.
Write that day down and going forward, watch for ANY horse that was 4th or worse from yesterday, ON THE DIRT.
OR, go down the charts and write the names down and enter them into your stable watch for alerts when they are entered back.
Handicap each race knowing that the last race for each of them you can draw a line through as the track was totally unfair.
See if they fit into the race they are in next, forgetting about the race yesterday, and play them accordingly. You will be getting odds that are higher than you probably should be getting. And if a trainer drops down off that poor effort on paper, well that is about as close to a gamblers dream as one can get.
Hope some of you do it. There is a very good chance that you'll be glad you did.
Things like that, where you have an edge over the majority of other players, is how you gain a much better percentage chance of winning.
I claimed horses doing that for YEARS. Worked for me. Most likely it will work for you as well.
