Will he be going to Solvalla to race in the elitloppet at 4 like quite a few other horses from the north america have done in years past?

I'm sure Karl would like to just so he can get as far away from you as possible, you creep

I asked a very serious question in racing (with no malice) and this is how you respond!

You have to earn a respectful answer, dimwit

WHY?

This is a harness racing platform!

What can I tell you!

FYI, my post was posted with ZERO malice!

Does it matter if someone who is a casual observer of y'all's public beef asks the same question? I will. Will he go to the Elitlopp?

Not a chance. Unless he miraculously gets sounder between now and then he will be retired after 3yo year. And quite frankly even if he could, he wont. I recall Nancy was disappointed they didn't continue on with Tactical Approach. Different kind of horse, but I agree with her; he looked like he would improve. He held his own in the TVG last year. Anyone want to wager now if Karl goes to the TVG?

This horse is superbly talented, but to be one of "the best," I personally feel they need to be the whole package, and he hasn't convinced me yet.

Virtually no chance he races at age 4


It would be nice to see him race in the Maple Leaf Trot

or face Jiggy Jog

i dont think Yimmy would do that

Thank you for answering.  My understanding the "great ones" get to go.  I believe moni maker and mack lobell were 'great' ones!

Muscle Hill...Europe? Race at 4? Half mile track?

Karl would have eaten Tactical Approach for lunch and twice on Sunday.

I don't disagree with you and I wasn't comparing their talent level. Just that they're different types of horses. I get the sense they'll be more than happy to retire Karl at the end of this year, whereas Tactical Approach, Nancy made a point of saying she wished they have raced him longer.

I just made my first post on horseplop and mentioned this but Karl is nowhere near the best trotter ever probably not top 10. The best I ever witnessed was Peace Corps.Almost 6 million in earnings and multiple breeders crown championships. I realize he will go to stud after this year but longevity has to play a factor in greatest ever.. John Campbell told me the best horse he ever sat behind was Mack Lobell... not Artsplace or Life Sign or Peace Corps but Mack Lobell

Who said he was the best trotter ever?

You have for months.. I respect a lot of your opinions but you just say that to stimulate conversations on here. You know that's B.S. His gait is bad and in noway could he handle a smaller track.
