Cal ex news just reading weekend entries

[Smalltimer7932]

Looks as though they have a shortage of entries for there 3k purses.theres no competition  in cali so why so short couldn't  get any amish horses in to fill the card I'd bet amish horses might race better than some of there entries  of late .some have raced horrible and burned much money at the windows when does Hawthorne  open with higher purses should be better races hopefully  maybe they need some amish horse power cooper has done great  in Ohio from the amish farms.

Thanks for that update but it's nice in cal ex why did they not ship this year ? Purses close to the same other than travel costs might be a reason for not going  sobey he was batting 400 driving and stable over 300

[Smalltimer7932]

And grundy  has always done well at cal-ex

[Powerful Patricks Ghost]

Maybe the 1200 mile shipping isn't worth it for racing 2 days a week only?

[Smalltimer7932]

Maybe true fact  or break even at best if you stable a bunch unless your gas is the best around .like certain larger trainers who will be nameless there  numbers  are because  the hard work they do.
