148.4 Win at Chester - Trace Tetrick triple arm lock --- ABM will be bagged next start when these two hook up
-
be sure to put them under your pillow. The tooth fairy will visit you soon.
WIGI paced at harrah's in 147.3 so there is 6 lengths
Think ABM is abouy 2 lengths better that WIGI making him 8 lengths better than MM
Pocono:
MM cuts the mile ABM comes first over and crushes his skull in
following week
MM sits on the rail spins out at the top of the stretch and looses ground.
No horse but a slight cut below. That being said one hell of a nice buy. I would take him in a second.

ABM purportedly has soundness problems after Haughton - Horse is going to Diamond Creek very soon - Horses just don't continue on and race at that level forever - I am sure the 1:47 miles and the Mile and One Eight Haughton has caught up to ABM WIJI & FFP

Can you tell me where you got this info? I'm pretty well connected and have heard nothing about soundness issues this yr regarding Miki.

Well, if you know anything about racing you know ABM has soundness issues. That's why he's been so lightly raced and also why they avoid the 1/2 mile track.

Please don't question my knowledge of this business
I know fully about Mikis past. The poster implied that he is not sound NOW.. After the houghton
And that his races have taken a toll on him. He looks very sound right now
The poster said he was on his way to diamond creek. When? Miki is th best of a terrific
aged group and there is.. As of right now.. No arguing that point. If he's lame right now I hope my next five purchases are as lame, as fast and as brave
-
These eye popping miles can't be continued on week after week, it's too hard on a horse

Don't tell me who to question and who not to question. If you want to control who questions you and who doesn't maybe you should get your own blog. Then you can tell everyone what you want them to say and when you want them to say it.
As far as ABM if he were totally sound they would race him on a 1/2 mile track and race him more frequently then they have. They haven't done that.

Half mile track for what kinda money? Why don't you folks stop hating and start appreciating....

MIKI WILL BREAK THE RECORD ON HAMBO DAY,,,,,,IMO

200,000 isn't enough?? He chose not to race in the Battle of Lake Erie at Northfield.
Just the facts, dude.

So, you have just exposed yourself for knowing absolutely nothing about the sport and horses in general. Soundness does not necessarily dictate what size track a horse races on. Lmao
Most often it's conformation that decides. How a horse travels over the track, how he/ she gets around turns. Do they brush their knees on the turns? Do they race better with long stretches? All sorts of reasons. . Some horses just don't handle small tracks. While racing one on a track that doesn't suit them can lead to soundness problems soundness doesn't pre determine what track a horse races on. There are plenty of sore horses that go to post on all size tracks. And plenty of sound ones who just aren't made for small tracks and tight turns. It's about conformation.
As far as Miki goes I fully appreciate that takter tries to keep his horse on tracks that suit him. We'd all do the same. Saying that he came out of the haughton sore is exactly what is wrong with boards like this and posters in general. Unless you work with this horse/ own this horse or are his vet, you have no business writing that crap. And it's crap for sure.

Not for a horse of this talent. And he is raced carefully and not every week. IMO he can and will continue this onslaught all yr. I can see him getting about another 10-12 starts and winning virtually all of them. This is a very rare and very talented horse.
And to address his soundness issues, I have trained horses. I worked with a vet for 5 yrs Miki is right now as sound as I've ever seen him. When he wasn't good he'd throw in extra steps and would slide his back end over in the bike. He is straight as an arrow and his gait is flawless as of the haughton. If anyone has information that he came out of the race poorly that is another story. But I know the guys who own him well. Iv owned horses with a few of the partners in the past and we talk all the time. I saw him walk off the track after the race and he was perfectly on all four feet.

You do realize that race is a mile and 1/8 just like last week, right?

Besides Northfield....... Werent there also some big money races at Yonkers that ABM skipped? Sound horses don't skip racetracks with tight turns!

Sorry but sore/unsound horses dont go 147 in 4 consecutive races

He may be relatively sound right now. But its common knowledge he's had his share of problems. And they're scared of the 1/2 mile turns.....just the facts!
-

You just said he wasnt sound thats why they dont race on a half....now he is relatively sound right now....which way did he go George angbk

Equus said he was not sound after the houghton
You piled on by talking about the size of tracks that he races on
Miki is currently as sound as I've ever seen him

You must not have watched him at 3 before the injury then

I'm NOT Equus. And if his connections were not afraid of further soundness issues he would go on a 1/2.
-

He's not sound enough to go on a 1/2!!! just the facts!!
-

That isnt a fact..because the connections choose not to race on a half doesnt mean he isnt sound enough to go on a half.....check facts please
-

I raced against him. I know him well. However I should have said he's the soundest I've seen him since his injuries
-

Wow. You really dont know anything. Have you ever been next to him... Like in the paddock or the stall? Ever get a good look at him? He's not built for 1/2 mile racing. He's very long and huge. He'd never stand up to tight turns. Fortunately his connections understand this.
-
He's not sound enough to go on a 1/2!!! just the facts!!
Why would anybody want to race their horse on a half when he has 4 or 5 screws holding his leg together ? and because they're smart enough not to doesn't mean he's not sound .

Lol. Why don't dogs fly? Because. they can't and are smart
enough not to try. Lmao.

EXACTLY! tmbz1 They're afraid to race him on the 1/2.

Good lord. You really are clueless. He isn't built for 1/2 racing. Screws or not. Get a conformation book on harness horses and read it. You really could benefit.

Screws in his leg and wont race on a 1/2 mile? But no lameness problems??
HILARIOUS RATIONALIZATION!!

And by the way. You do realize that he's NEVER raced in a 1/2.... Right? Even before
he got hurt. Hmmm I wonder why? Could it be that
A moron who knows anything about horses could take one look at him and
Know that he'd never do well in a 1/2. That he's not made for a 1/2
But hey, you know more than some of the most respected, knowledgeable trainers and owners in our sport. Lmfao.

Pomp i.dont want.to argue but i tore an acl and after there were different things i wouldnt do not because i couldnt but because i didnt want to put myself in a place where i could hurt it again.yes mikki got hurt,twice.now he is healthy.why would you put him on tracks ,1/2 mile,chester surface, where it is more likely for him to get hurt?if he is lame give me a barn full of horses so lame.

Good luck reasoning with him Thor. As I pointed out above
He's NEVR raced on a 1/2. Why? Because he's a huge horse.. A long horse. Doesn't stand like a horse who would like a 1/2. And fortunately the adults in the room.. ( his owners and trainers) always knew this.

Granted he's a great horse and I'd clearly love to own him too. But like you after you tore your acl, they are scared to race him on a small track.

Ha. You have proven to know nothing. What you've
Written is comical and would be summarily
dismissed by those of us in the business. Those of us who know horses
Who go to lexington and Harrisburg. Those of us who raise our hands and bid
Putting our money where our mouths are. Those of us who have bought. Trained and owned
Multiple track record holders. Multiple stakes winners
Breeders Crown winners. Horses who have earned millions and have been syndicated
and sold as stud horses. Your are just a poster with no knowledge of how you forge a horses career.
