If you breed a 133 and hasnt shown anything in trainer sessions to be even a half decent horse. What do you do with him? Do you spend 50,000 in an Insta that you are pretty sure he cant win? Do you just stick him in a Grade III and hope for the best? Do you retire the horse? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I would never retire a 133. Give him One chance and see what happens.
Also, try aging him a year in training.
Those are also great horses to run in Reds after intentionally misplacing him in a tournament.
You know, a la Ahijah.
A bum is a bum, whether its a 101, or a 141.
This horse's ideal racing conditions yet and this includes its age.
I had this dud 134 just like your horse so I just iced him down in the stable for about three months and let him listen to music. Then I finally discovered what I had missed all along which was his correct conditions (surface and distance) were turf soft and long distance, 8.5f to 10f.
Next thing I know this dud is running SR 140's in G-1's as a four year old.
Hang on to this horse and give him a chance.
Tyolds said he was looking for opinions from good trainers on his 133 horse. What the heck are you doing on here Starfish???
thanks for the opinions guys.....I am going to take a little time and decide. Maybe try a few more things, but I have been training the hell out of this horse looking for anything that resembles a race horse. lol Age, distance, tracks, competition, surface, conditions...I think he is just a POS but I may give him one try in an El Cheapo.
Kingsport- I will ask nicely one time...get this.....do not post on my threads with anything off topic or negative or I will become a little bitch and go to HRF. I have been very nice here and asked politely. Thank you.
I was only giving back to Starfish what he has dished out to me. Now about your horse. Give it a try in a G3 because some horses will perform better in tours than training. I have found that 133.9s are the worst horses for the most part though.
Over the past 5 days I have purchased a 131.5,131.7 and a 132.3 all from Snoz. The 131.5 looks great in training and the other two I haven't trained yet. The real way to see what a horse has in in real tours, and any of my new +130s could be duds. Hopefully your 133 will wake up in tours.
I havent got a 130.0 or higher in 2 months. Must be a horse scam going on.
I don't think it is a scam cause yeah I have 3 + 130s and 1+140 purchased lately, but I have had a lot of losers too. The 70.6 I bought was a real gem LOL. I have bought maybe 30 horses lately.
Everything 127 and under, most were 100 and below.
Well...i'm not a good trainer BUT i would race him. Training and Tournaments are different (both ways) but like i said i'm just not very good!
