Lol pretty much everyone would. But apparently he ain’t much according to the armchair experts here.

You are missing the point.  Of course everyone would like a horse that makes a ton.  But why put him in over his head in the Borgata?  They used him very hard last year!

In every race all the horses except the winner are in over their heads unless there is a dead heat.

Not necessarily true. Claiming horse who is classified right, fits very competitively in the field, figures strong for the win, certainly on the board, etc. This horse comes in second. He gets beat by what? A better horse that day, a better trip, a horse that trips out, by any number of reasons. I say that horse is not over his/her head at all. That horse fits and is classified right. Unless there is a reason, I'd race right back in that class. I would agree however that when people can pick their spot, most -- more than half -- horses are raced over their head.

You're right. Apparently Tim thinks he's not over his head, or at least wants to try and see. However, he felt the same thing last year, and at the end of the year said he could have raced/campaigned him better. We'll see pretty quickly.

Stupid comment...lots of horse make a nice living on 2nd and 3rds.  Especially in places like Yonkers and Miami Valley.

The mare was a respectable 2nd in the Matchmaker Leg 1.

Weakest division but still better than I thought she’d be.

Fourever Boy is a really really nice horse but he's just not that caliber horse to race in Borgata.

Everyone who owns horses would love a "Fourever Boy"

saw Forever Boy last night.  It sure looks like he doesn't like the turns at yonkers. I see maybe one more start ( if that) before they race him elsewhere.

I agree, one more start. I'm going to throw the first start out.

Driver passed on perfect 2nd over trip last night with Foureverboy.  Theme song for Micki Rae "The grass is always greener in the other persons yard"
