How many on this site are real horsemen?

[lesstired]

not just owners that think they know it all.......


not horseplayers that bet on the races.....


and not couch experts....


How many out there actually have taken a colt to the paddock

and warmed him up on the track in colors.....and then after the race

set him/her up in wraps/poultice , fed a hot mash and watered for the nite....


this includes full paddock...and mucking the stall properly....


Just wondering ...and I know there are some real players out there....


Question #2 


Have you ever gone to the sale and bought a yearling with your own money?


groomed him thru the season and made the races....say at Roosevelt/Yonkers.....or even a fair track.



Lets separate the men from the boys here.......


Inquiring minds would like to know.


IF you start hollerin' that will speak volumes......


so just expect real horseman to respond.


Its OK if u have done none of the above....you are still OK.


Fire away......

Owners are not horsemen they are owners

Horsemen are few and far between..

I can only prob name five real horsemen I know

I've been racing for 17 yrs.

The words. TRAINERS AND HORSEMEN are thrown are way to loosely these fuckin days.
.. just cus u sit a jog ..enter a horse u are not a trainer

Just cus one can be lucky enough to have money buy a horse doesn't make them HORSEMEN.. either

Good thread

Hmmm, sounds like the GROOMS are the actual horsemen,  their the ones that are ACTUALLY in the barn at 5 am, i know a lot of trainers that are never in the barn and walking around with Suringes, those people are just in it to try to make a quick buck, or easy money, here today, gone tomorrow....

Been there done it all still doing it. Nothing better than watching or driving one across the line first.    No better high in life than that

Been in the biz a long time, have done it all. Today there are few real horsemen left. Chemist and vets have replaced horseman.

Lesstired was a nice overnight race horse. A regular campaigner at RR and Yonkers in the late 1970's.
