KARL

Low count?

I wonder how you  tell fertility from semen.  Is low sperm the salty type or the more oaky, earthy type….or the more bitter.

LMAO...well get under him and do an Amish oil change and let us know.

 You'd think Simon would have gave D.C the lowdown on his swimmers, professional when it comes to this matter.

 Young sires, he'd give them many more chances to bulken up

Per Diamond Creek announcement Karl will return to the track in '25 as he is unlikely to serve a full book of mares.

If this means Diamond Creek loses money then I like it!

[Parked]

Saved some people a lot of $$$$

Diamond Creek didn't loose any money, he'll probably bill them for board. He doesn't own him, deal null and void.

 It's official  ,

Likely to improve?    That's a bullshit line.  Anyone will tell you that semen count will increase after racing and training is over.  If they are putting him back in training he is absolutely a no go and has zero chance to get better.  If they thought he could breed they would have put him on meds to help him like they did with Gimpanzee.   Karl was a fraud from the start of the season.

If he retired due to an injury, are they sure that injury can be fixed and he  can race to his full potential?

I wouldn't be surprised if she made up the injury as an excuse not to run again and embarrass the horse anymore.

I was thinking of people who might have bought some of his get.   

[Laag]

the question is can they cobble him together for a successful 2025 campaign. The male aged trotting crops has been pretty poor the last few years. The depth is embarrassig for the sport.

Despite all the Karl hate, he banked a million and won the Hambo in a driving rain storm. Yes managed all year to avoid alot of the big races and then faltered at the end.  They can definitely map out a schedule next year with the Graduate and some other races where he can win the majority of his races without taxing him too much but is he reparable at this point.

Breeders will get their money back

[Chips N Salsa]

Torn suspensory before Breeders Crown elim.  Likely shocked him to even be able to race.  He won't get a sniff of the aged trotters next year if he even races at all.
