Those rankings are just for those eligible. Confederate, or any other non-eligible can supplement any time before September 16 (5 days before the race!!)
-
Its protection time for Confederate.

yep -- they're are multiple multiple millions waiting for him in the breeding shed.. Like printing money.
-
DONT RULE IT OUT YET!
-
I am certainly not! Hope he is there! My gut is Brett wants to be if it were solely up to him. The best 3 year old should be in the most important race at least by traditions standards before racing biggest crowd!

Bowdens are funny people they wont pay supplemental money or spend in certain areas they should and waste money in areas they shouldn't.

My wife must be related to them!

If I had a monster horse he wouldn't go anyway near the Little Brown Jug. It's a bullring where a great horse can get beat up by a nobody.
Don't get me wrong. It's an iconic event that's tops for spectators. Less ideal for horses.
-
70s thru early 2000s virtually every great 3 year old showed up colts and fillies most won check out 93 Jug for example Not sure what you are talking about

So nobody's are showing up in 7 figure races now? Look at the purse my man. That statement is a little off base.
-
as i said there are a million reasons to show up
quite frankly if you think your horse has a shot giddyup
even if it starches him and he is not great for the balance of the year
for example for those eligible the kss final goes for $400k and the breeders crown for $600 k so if you can win both you get same as winning the jug
and maybe just maybe the horse is ok and can with stand the 2 heats as hundreds of others have done in the past and do well after it

SCARED OF 7 COLORS ?
-
I want to see Pelling at The Jug.
Maybe get a good quote.
Remember when his driver took off a Pelling colt in the final.
When asked about catch drivers Pelling said
"We just bring them to the dance we don't have to dance with them".
I can't remember the year or the driver that took off.

Don’t look at the purse. Look at what it cost to be eligible. Watch the Eliminations over the last 20 years and you will see a ton of unknowns enter and a few screwed the better horses out of a decent starting spot in the final
-
No stake race should have supplemental entries. Pay your money and take your chances.

1997 shady charactor.....lac hance won leg one . Picked off final... ron pierce picked up drive and won final..

That sounds right. I thought Pierce was involved, but I couldn't remember just how.
Hay you are good!
-
He'll be there. They are prepping him for heat racing now.
-
It was also posted Confederate was not going to be in Pocono. We will see who is in the race when it comes time to enter.
Where did you see this?
-
if he wants to be thought of as a top, top stallion by everyone, gotta dance at this dance, especially the way Timmy has been taking care of him all year
the horse has barely broken a sweat and it's a huge purse

My 50 years in the game has taught me nothing and I am his biggest fan in the world and badly want to see him go to the Jug...So, explain to me how going to the Jug and hopefully winning it increases his stud value? If he quit today, they could print millions with him for years

It’s the difference between being a 12k stud and a 20k stud.

in my opinion it shows the owners aren't afraid of any other horse and he can race on any size surface if they go but if they don't go it shows they may be perceived as ducking the race, not to mention a slap in the face to the good fans in Ohio
I remember the days that the best horses would race anyone anywhere
-
Agree with your points essentially. Just missing how a given race really affects stud fee when he in particular already has and will continue to do so much. Again, I would love to see him go and feel wholeheartedly he should.

Besides being the biggest race purse wise and still big name wise, it’s his only real shot to hit the 2 mil milestone. He wins it and runs the table, he’ll command a 25k stud fee next year.

And his sire did (Somebeachsomewher e) not go & it did not hurt him in the breeding shed I would say.
