Title: How "good" is Eric Good? Or is he just lucky?
Post by: The Thorn on October 08, 2023, 02:24:24 PM
He owns good sized pieces of Bythemissal, Legendary Hanover, It's a Love Thing, Hellabaloo.  This guy is fairly new to the business and look at this success.  Makes you wonder if he has a crystal ball  ngc3

I'm sure there are some but I don't know any ... do you?  He has others racing with success I didn't mention,  and I don't recall him being a large yearling buyer or involved in ten million horses like Sbrocco, but go ahead and tell us of his failures, and tell us how many other people have this kind of success in such a short time?

Thanks to Hellabalou and Eddie Dennis, Eric has been around but has jumped in full throttle and one reason for Green to pull out of Delaware.

Eric Good sold a vinyl fence supply company in Denton, Md.  for BBIIIIGGGG BUCKS!  Apparently set him us to do whatever he wants to in retirement.  When he took Hellabalou from Eddie, I heard he was asked to take whatever was left in the barn that was his with him...and he did.

Eric and Eddie were friends for years and shows you what money does to one's personality.

Didn’t he make the change from Dennis to Green like 2 years ago?
What was wrong with keeping him with Eddie?

Great perspective!!    You only see the people and their successes, not their failures!!  More often than not, more failures!!

I get the thrust of your post and parts of it, I agree with.
But you are wrong to suggest Confederate is "just another horse" and another will come along in the following years successively. He will most likely close out the season 12 for 12 and miss an undefeated 3 year old campaign by a head. Tell ya what, I am willing to wager you publicly right now, no 3 year old COLT PACER wins 10 in a row or more next year at the stakes/grand circuit level. No matter who they may be. ( sire stakes excluded ) Since we are not dealing with eachother in person, it will be a Gentleman's bet of honor, witnessed by all on here. Money goes to Charity. Mine will be St. Judes. Well???

At the very top level of racing. Not just any 3 year old at any level. The air that Confederate breathes, I submit no horse will win 10 or 11 or 12 or more in a row as Confederate will. He is going to miss an underrated season by a head. I do have Confederate top ten all time already and will die with that assertion. Yes, Cam's Card Shark is there too. But I believe given Confederate's ability to be comfortable in the 1.47, last half 53 to 54 range, last quarter 26 or better range combined with his durability, his desire to win and his electric, on demand gear box, he would pace with anything that ever lived. When Confederate comes at you with that last 1/8th tucked into a 25.2 last quarter, the horse on the lead better be damned special. The bet is always open to you if interested.
