We had a FFA horse here in TORONTO called CRYSTAL LENS who was super lame and he had four legs move in different directions but i would have loved to see him sound,,,,,,,,,,,He was a super high priced horse out of a world champion mare and was sold for a small amount as an older horse but was he fast
How about this one.....Grades Singing!When she retired only Peace Corps had won more money and Grades Singing didn't have any big money races as a 2yo. Over the span of her career, she went on to win three Breeders Crowns. Three! And seven world records! Do you think we should let Karl race in one BC first? Nah, even if he wins, he's not on any respectable person's GOAT list.Now, ready for this.....as a 4yo.....at Yonkers.....SHE BEAT PACERS! Anyone remember this? Now, if you don't believe this, before you claim it isn't true.....like George Berkner training Goalie Jeff.....you might want to check this out.....unless you have an aversion to being wrong. She won 20 of 25 at three, including multiple NYSS, about ten Quebec Circuit Stakes, and the CTA Championship. At four, she raced 41 times, finishing first-second 34 times, winning the Maple Leaf Trot, the American Trotting Classic, the World Cup (with a world record) and the Breeders Crown. As a 5yo, she was sold overseas, and in her overseas campaign spanned several years where she won the Elitlopp, the Premio Gaetano Turilli, the Gran Premio della Lotteria, and the Prize of Nations, the Vermo Cup and the Finlandia, and the the Prijs de Giganten, which was the most prestigious race in Holland. She came back to Canada, won another Breeders Crown, and by the time she retired she had 148 starts in nine countries.Sorry, I forgot this thread was about Karl being one of the greatest of all time.
👍👍👍she was one tough mare. Todays horses could never stand those 2 and 3 year old numbers. Most are “managed” for breeding. When you play not to get beat , you lose..
\\I never knew about this incredibly great mare here are her unreal stats. 98 out of 115 first or second 105 out of 115 top 3! Plus all those High level stakes. Oh my. Starts 1st 2nd 3rd Money Gait Age Time TrackLife: 115 81 17 7 $2,190,872 T 4 1:57 F PPK F
She was a super horse but i have seen better but she was great,,,,,,,,,,,A great story about this horse was that when she went to SWEEDEN to race under GOOP she went real bad and they brought her groom over from quebec and the horse loved life again and she was paid well,,,
How about this one.....Grades Singing!
The teletimer is the only FACT when judging a horse's performance. I need a good laugh. Name something else factual and not subjective about judging the performance of a racehorse.
Indeed it is Sig Sauer 149.3.. Karl 150.2 I just reread alot of this thread and it's hilarious
