sales are so over priced....big waste of time....
Not if you're a juicer buying previously unjuiced horses.
My 8 claimer brought $9700. 4 claimer brought $5. Unbelievable
I see Rene Allard purchased about 400,000$ worth of new horseflesh.He doesnt care what he pays for them-just keeps bidding like hes got a bottomless pit of money.Horses that should go for 20--he'll pay 40.There is something very odd about this-very odd.Why buy all these horses-most ending in claimers-only to be claimed away.?He also purchased a heap last sale-them brought them all to Indiana and sold the lot shortly after--wtf?As Shakespeare once wrote in Hamlet "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"
Do u not realize it's a money laundering scheme ?
You may be onto something-as this is what this smells like. After taking into consideration his "training fees" and the money he spends at the sales most of his owners would be in a major financial hole-yet the claiming and the buying at sales and selling continues at a rate that ive never seen -nor has anyone else I know.Anyone else notice that there are less and less claiming races happening?There used to be many 25,30,40 and 50 claimers in PA---now mostly gone .Yonkers way less high priced claimers.Allard certainly hasnt helped this situation IMHO--many owners being sick of just 2-3 trainers dominating this side of racing.Allard and Banca(maybe others)- dont claim from each other--making the whole claiming game--unattractive for owners.I believe in free enterprise--but the system these guys have in place is more like a monopoly--and this isnt good for any business.
Like any other business, it will correct when it no longer produces the desired result. To me, this dude seems to be a bit of a deal junkie. He appears to get as much or more out of making a deal than reaping the benefits of the deal. He is less intimidated by potential loss than others. He also scores big , too.
