Just another mental patient who over prices his horse.

His comment said "just started racing".  BS  He has started 30 times and barely graduated from NW 1.   I think the owner added a zero by mistake for the opening bid.

I really do not think he would be the favorite in the NW10 condition claimer at Scioto.  To each their own.

I was thinking $40-50k but definitely not $140k.  Guy is nuts and clearly does not want to sell the horse.

maybe looking to take out an insurance policy and put a price on him?

Insurance company would not let them value him that high.  very unlikely.

They dropped the asking to $100,000 so it looks like a buy it now as compared to an auction.  It needs to go down a ton more before someone is interested IMO.

Still crazy!  They won't get more than $50k unless Luther buys it.

Mocha Java in today in 4 yo KYSS race 5.  Guess since he ran his only start before sale posting they never got him sold at that bargain price.

In today -- race 5   Oak Grove

Raced on the 21st  --- 5.70-1 in the Open 2 --- made a break but had little chance as he was near the back and the last half came home in 55.3

Nursed to the back of the field, second straight start he blew up at 5/8ths pole.   They may take take a used jog cart and two bags of feed for him  tmbz1

Talking about Ongait overpriced horses anybody get a load of Americagreatagain in the 5th at Chester yesterday?  They gave the drive to Dexter he made a big move past the half went 3 wide to head the 2nd place horse at the 3/4 then immediately appeared to spit the bit and went backwards walking at the end of the mile beaten 30 something lengths.  Very rare to see a horse go backwards like that after one move in the middle of a race without breaking.

Provost will never get his money back on this one.

Good!  He’s won plenty with his incredible run of luck selecting trainers!
