can MAMBA defeat JANGLES?

[Sweet]

the best we can hope for is that they hook up 3-4 times this year and have some epic battles
i agree harness racer , the sport needs it
casual fans or non fans love a hero but there has to be someone to push them
niatross, secretariat, yankees, dodgers, celtics etc, fans love dynasty and stars but someone has to be the foil
think ali and frazier etc

the bigger question is if this rivalry takes place who in the harness racing establishment is smart enough to know how to capitalize on it and make it a main stream story

 

I don't agree with you much, but your take on Bobblehead Bob is spot on.  He is as crooked as they come and will eventually get BJ beat!  I hope there is a horse out there to give him some kind of rivalry.  Good for the game!   

I'm sure we'll find common ground beyond one of the biggest scumholes to put the colors on 

I want what you want but...

An owner and trainer strategizing on a plan to beat BJ, with one, even two...is bat sh!t...never, they want to win, build their own horse's legacy and fill their coffers and enter as a champion stud.

He'll race against those resigned to place

BJ faces every great horse's reality - a bad day, bad racing luck,  not a wish, just a statistical reality the more your race, otherwise he's improving at a rate where he'll go undefeated this year too building and improving, and then seek to break the world record at 4, undefeated.

I don't think you can compare at this point. ODDS ON MR MAMBA has been, to this point a regional sire stake horse. He's a very nice horse and has good connections. I hope they do well. He could really step up on the grand circuit stage.   But you are comparing one horse who is approaching $2 million who won a metro and breeders crown to a horse who won $500k and some sire stakes.   You can't really compare at all yet.   I'm sure others will step up but right now BJ is the King.
