Title: TCI
Post by: jupiter on September 28, 2024, 05:11:24 PM
Sad, a lot like Geocentric. Nothing like last year. Maybe Geocentric should haven gone to Pelling? Kentucky Futurity for TCI? Ronnie has a week to do magic.

Not sure about the futurity. Just a disappointment this year after what he showed as a 2 year old. Kismet looked good. Nice patient drive by McClure.

Not sure if you noticed but those aren’t exactly ideal conditions out there today

Yeah they were horrible conditions but each horse had to deal with them.

Exactly. Look, I will hand it to Burke's as they get what they can from a horse but TCI looks cooked. I AM curious to see what happens next. Burke's typically aren't afraid to race into the aged ranks but if this colt can't rebound, he's cheapening himself (and his stud fee) drastically every time he steps on the track at this point.

its a terrible crop across the board in all 4 3 year old divisions...we are finding out what burning these horses out is doing.  Has their ever been a least compelling harness racing season than in 2024...these 3 yo old divisions are garbage at this point. The racing at the Red Mile was absymal. Not even full fields and half of the names skipped the first week. Everyone is just looking to race in the sire stakes programs at this point and the Grand Circuit fading away

Looked very good in a monsoon. A lot of talent, but erratic performances this year. Made up about 8 or so from the backstretch, rolled out of the last turn 4 wide, and easily went by the leaders to win under wraps by 4 or so. Nice last quarter, strong last half. Always liked this colt.

Both TCI and Geo are having horrible years.  Can’t even imagine the ulcers Brian has gotten this year from her performances
