New Yonkers Testing = Travis Brake Fluid
« on: April 14, 2025, 08:09:36 PM »
Ever since the testing was changed at YR about 4 weeks ago Travis Alexander horses have been next to horrible.  Those 10+ syringes he gives them before getting on the trailer don't work anymore!

Given that, with the exclusive cast of characters that inhabit YR, you'd think every race would now end in an eight-horse dead heat...

Travis left (kicked out) Ford farm owning stall rent and has moved to PA to practice his witchcraft.

I heard that he also owes grooms 2 months back pay. I assumed it was bullshit but....

Is that the same guy that suddenly became a super trainer while Travis was suspended?

Travis took his days when he was already in Florida. He wasn't racing, I remember when he was training for Fashion Farm. Didn't do well. He can be added to the list of wonder trainers who once the drug tap was turned off couldn't win a fixed race. Did someone say Jim King?

when did Jim King stop winning races?

just because Grand Circuit mares Shartin and Lyons Sentinel retired means he cant win anymore?

both Jim and his wife are getting up there in years and basically concentrate on DBSF program. They still win.

i can assure you that travis alexander not being in the bike has zero to do with the horses poor performance
as for jim king, winning races in the DBSF program is a lot different than crushing the grand circuit types

King is also 73 years old and his wife a few years older, so it's time to slow down and stick close to home.

that is exactly what they are doing

they dont want to spend big money at the yearling sales and no longer have deep pocketed owners
