It's unfortunate what is considered racing today. That is not racing. That's is capitulation from the word go. Not saying he wouldn't dust them anyway but that's not my point. Mohawk had 12 dashes last night and they barely handled over 2M, that speaks to their product and in particular their sire stakes, which are always predictable and a hard pass for any gambling. There are simply not enough competitive trainers and drivers up there and the management just doesn't seem to care. As for Beau, he somebeachsomewher e 2.0 a very very nice animal that will go down as making the easiest 3M since the beach. Good for the owners, good for Doc and Bobby but not so good for the game. I can remember going to Blue Bonnets up in Montreal to see the Prix and all the good ones that won in Toronto to see how they lined up with some of ours plus the Fillion clan.

I knew the the comparisons between SBSW and BJ would start at some point, and there are alot of similarities, but some differences as well...
SBSW had 21 lifetime starts.. 6 outside of Canada. 3 at Meadowlands, 2 at Lexington and 1 at Yonkers. BJ hasn't raced outside of Canada yet. 15 starts already, probably 10-12 more at most by my count...so BJ if he remains sound will have 5 to 7 more starts then SBSW. The only sure thing outside of Canada is the breeders crown. Ownership might coddle his schedule even more to keep the undefeated streak in tact. One similarity is the fact that each horse had/has a driver on him that you wouldn't expect. Macdonell got SBSW defeated by a horrible drive in the Pace. Will McClure aka bobble buckle under the pressure as the undefeated streak goes on. Probably at some point...
Of his possible 10 to 12 remaining races, at least 5 or 6 definitely in Canada 2 for the NACup and 3 to 4 for the OSS legs and finals. We will know BJ's ownerships intentions around the end of June, Meadowlands Pace eliminations are on July 4th. So having said all that, I cannot compare the 2 horses as equals yet, not even close..until BJ comes to the states multiple times and competes against the best. He is just dusting the same horses every week now.

i never said that agent black was not managed or trained by the stable .ca
i said he was never OWNED by the stable.ca
in other words the 1% owners never had shares
my understanding was that a person in Australia owned all of him and he has other shares of horses with the stable.ca so he sent agent black over here
i do not really understand how the Amish buy horses or how they value them but whoever ended up owning this one did pretty well for what appeared to be a very average trotter both race wise and pedigree wise

He beats the same calibre of horses every start in Canada.

He is entirely US owned and they appear to be super horse business savvy. Give them some credit for a so far monstrously successful campaign.

To answer your question, WHO GOES TO THESE EVENTS?

The same people who go to dog shows.
