Randolph Poker, does that very small opening bid price mean the horse is hurt and done racing?

[RANDOLPH POKER]

Opening bid updated to $5,000.

Was originally $50,000.

The fact that she’s selling likely means it’s time to end the bills and move on...

The Stable is better at losing your money- just a little at a time.

AS OF 12/1/23 - DARK MAGIC OFFERING:


DARK MAGIC

Pacing Filly by TALL DARK STRANGER
(Pennsylvania bred)
 

Pedigree link     Video link


We are THRILLED to offer this outstanding daughter of 2020 Horse Of The Year TALL DARK STRANGER!


Our newest purchase is part of TALL DARK STRANGER'S 1st crop of yearlings.  On track, he was an ultra-impressive 19 wins in 22 starts, including the Metro and Breeders Crown at a 2 year old, and the Meadowlands Pace, North American Cup, KYSS Final, Bluegrass and Tattersalls at 3.  He was named divisional champion at 2, and Horse of The Year at 3!


DARK MAGIC is a sleek looking filly from a great family...her dam is a multiple Grand Circuit stakes winner and $897,021 earner WRANGLER MAGIC, who has already produced 1:50.4 winner FOXHUNT ($100,649  1:50.4).


DARK MAGIC was inspected by and purchased by top trainer Brian Brown - one of the absolute best trainers in the country and comes up with elite level horses year after year - such as this year's undefeated filly GEOCENTRIC ($466,958  1:49.4).  Plus, Brian is one of the nicest gentlemen you'll ever meet! 


DARK MAGIC is Pennsylvania sired and Kentucky foaled, making her eligible to the sire stakes programs in both states!  We'll also target her for as many of the big money Grand Circuit stakes as she shows the ability for!

Both Cory Stratton and Brian Brown were bidding on this one.  They didn’t realize it but Brian loves her!

Trainer - Brian Brown

The stable.ca is better

Is this good or bad in the marketing aspect of harness racing?

If you HAD to pick 1, which group would it be?

[RANDOLPH POKER]

I wouldn't...they both seem to have the majority of their horses in Ohio....stabled and racing....and overpay for horses, keep them too long, and overclassify them, for the most part.  If 1/2 of 1% of a horse is exciting to you, then have a ball!

Randolph Poker, do you think anyone has made a profit in VIP's syndicate. I have read that there's a whole bunch of folks who seemed to have made a profit at a outfit like West Coast Throughbreds.
