[Chips N Salsa]

Not so super anymore!

[Laag]

great horses get beat but this horse is nowhere near the best of all time

Muscle Hill
Mack Lobell
Sebastian K
Atlanta
Manchego
Jiggy Jog

all would eat Karl's lunch in the stretch...karl is a very very good horse but they have babied him and he is avoiding alot of the big races and was going to beat here by Secret Agent Man in the stretch if he didnt blow up

[rainman2]

Not so super anymore!

Will there be excuse(s) from the horseplop faithful or ranting, raving, and whining?

Can't wait to find out!

You forgot about twenty other trotters, but I get your point.

Half of the horses you listed weren't as great as Karl at 3.

This horse isn't in the top 20 greatest of all time.  he races against no one and get beat by different horses each time.  wait till kismet comes to lex and trots by him like he's tied to a post.  kismet will absolutely jerk his bridle off the rest of the year.

Your delusional - Muscle hill lost 1 race life - Mack Lobell beat everyone on EVERY size track - Sebastian K - so so Atlanta beat boys at 3 - Jiggy Jog just win against boys for a mil and has barely been beat last 3 yrs.

Once again, I said half of the horses listed were not as good as Karl at 3. Muscle Hill, Mack and Atlanta were. Sebastian, Manchego and Jiggy Jog were not.

[Chips N Salsa]

Well to be great he has to be better at 3 and he's not.  Plain and simple he's good horse not great.  I would take him for sure but he's not the next super horse super sire.

[rainman2]

Didn't watch the race but read the chart!  Looks like a driver and a trip got the job done!

Looks like a combination of excuses as well as some ranting, raving, and crying on horseplop!

Can't wait for more comments/excuses/ranting/raving/whining!

Right, I am sure millions were saying Rambling Willie was great when he was 3. I am sure millions were saying Foiled Again was great when he was 3. You have been bashing Takter and Karl since the beginning. He is lame, he will blow up when they ask him for speed, Takter is using OSPHOS bla bla bla. All he has done is earn 2 million in 21 starts with 18 wins, 2 places and 1 show.

[Chips N Salsa]

don't forget he has raced against a sub par crop of trotters and barely won 10 of those 18 wins.  9 wins he has a 6" head nod too.  Let's just agree to put the * beside his numbers like Barry Bonds HR record. 

[rainman2]

Looks like a combination of truthful reporting, as well as excuses/whining/crying/ranting/raving!

[TimTimTimbo]

I thought he was going to be great and trot 1:48 but not now. Highland Kismet would destroy him as of today.

Unless he is sick or a valid excuse.

TCI was cooked by Burke IMO and Karl does not look like he was earlier this year.  This was not a great field.

Also racing every two weeks is not ideal unless there is a problem
