Apparently, you've been swallowing this "He Got Sick" excuse balls deep across 15 time zones, 6 continents and 3 hemispheres and will likely do so for the rest of your natural days.
why are they racing a horse on the front end when they knew he wasnt 100%?
Trainer Jimmy Takter told harnessracing.com Tuesday morning that post-race tests revealed Lazarus N bled during last Saturday's $430,000 Breeders Crown Open Pace at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. Driven by Yannick Gingras, Lazarus N battled to the lead before reaching the half in :55.2, but after yielding to eventual winner McWicked, he backed through the field and finished last in the eight-horse field, beaten 19 1/4 lengths.Without eliminations necessary for the Open Pace, Lazarus N came into the race having not raced since finishing second to McWicked in the Allerage Farm Pace on Oct. 6 at The Red Mile. Lazarus N had been scheduled to start in the $250,000 Dan Rooney Invitational on Oct. 13 at Yonkers Raceway, but he was scratched "sick" by Takter.Takter said prior to the Breeders Crown that Lazarus N had been on antibiotics, but all signs indicated the 6-year-old pacer was 100 percent heading into Saturday's contest."We thought we had everything under control, but at the same token, the antibiotics kind of covered everything," said Takter. "In hindsight you'd say we shouldn't have raced him, but in hindsight we are all the best quarterbacks."He had never bled before. He didn't bleed because he is a bleeder, he bled because he was fighting a virus. And that's so sad. This was the race we were aiming for."
Buffy, what does Jewffrey have to do with this horse ??
Let's stop using the Red Mile times as if they are relevant to anything other then a mark for breeding time. You had a MOMM mare trotter go sub 50. You had Double A Mint mare pacer go in 47 change, amongst a list of others that will never be sniff anything close to those miles again.
