Always B Miki
« on: October 06, 2024, 07:48:11 PM »
When Jimmy Takter trained Always B Miki as a 4- and 5-year-old, he called him the "greatest horse ever". He should have checked the stats first. How can a horse who lost 23 times in 53 lifetime starts be called the greatest  ever?

Father Patrick was the best he ever trained. The answer is simple...Jimmy is a salesman.

I know he was the fastest, but he called him the greatest horse ever. The greatest at anything doesn't lose 23 times. I actually blame Nancy alot for the demise of Karl by not running him enough, it's a good way to lose your form.

Everybody on here except 1 person saw the horse meanig Karl wasn't quite right.. I don't think more starts would have helped..

Maybe so, but I do think he passed up earning more money by skipping some races along the way when he was sharper. I think they're more interested in stud fees than in earning money.

Very fast horse. A lot of speed. Maybe one of the "fastest" horses ever. No, not one of the GOAT. Jimmy bought into that horse for a lot of money! Jimmy is smart. He's a salesman.

Every yr Jimmy throws the best horse I ever trained line out.  Jimmy just likes to talk to hear himself.  I'm sure he believes if he says it enough people will believe it to be true.  Just like the time he said "It wasn't me bangin the blonde groom in the barn"  ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
