When the yogurt stops working, when the veins have collapsed we'll see what tricks Casey next pulls out of her trousers.

The connections, his past performances, current challengers = expectations.

You only get 1 clunker, 2 clunkers in a row is unacceptable.

Let's see what happens next.

If not racing again...

Is Nijinksy retired or deceased?

Why so vague?  What’s the actual story?

Based on that race line, he would be one of the favorites in a race with the same horses

I disagree, but not by much.

In stakes finals, at the BigM it ain't happening.

You want to be a 4yo and older top pacer in NA, be running in the 147 range or lower on the 1 mile oval.

You want to win in 148 and change under the last scenario you better steal the race going 123 to 3/4's.

Goofballs and claimers hitting that 148 change mark at the 7/8's and 1 mile with frequency, even cheap claimers too.

That mile is the equivalent of 47 and change.

Not for me.

Then we'll disagree on this one:

26.1     54.0     1:21.2

Parked out, still finished third.

Parked out, still finished third.

The expectation is when this very lightly raced champion 3yo, now 4, doesn't ever get parked out by these.  Ever.

We all, almost all, consider Nijinksy, according to his connections letting him race, to be of the most capable to be world record class.  Horse is on lasix too.

anyway, is he injured?

He was parked around the final turn. I just watched the replay.  He definitely fits with those horses.

Was a pretty good group of 3yos Nijinsky was competing against, beating last year.

Injured most likely done for his career. Will stand next year at Winbak Farm of New York

Calling bullshit on your bullshit unless you provide a reliable source and or proof about injury, because...

Winbak is no secret, and you do not know if horse's career is over ("most likely")..no next, done, now unsure!

Nice horse.....his biggest hold back as a stallion is he's a Bettors Delight.

I had information that he never shouldve raced in Graduate Final, but they went ahead and did anyway.

Seems to be a lot of that going around this thread.

Time will tell.   

Title: Re: Nijinsky
Post by: Laag on July 18, 2025, 05:03:05 PM
well if you have proof he is done than show your receipts

otherwise a 3rd place finish in the Graduate is hardly shameful. I do not understand. Nijinksy is a very very good horse and proven it last year and so far this year. He isnt a dominant type that will win every week..who is these days but he is a horse that will be involved in the top 4 almost every single week and if healthy will win his fair share of races this year

Oh Casie and crew finished off another young horse before they could reach 4, what a surprise.

His size doesn't help either, he is on the smaller side.
