No waiting for Confederate fans.  First race of the day.

It's My Show will probably race next week (and Confederate will take that one off).  Race of the day will still probably be Sylvia Hanover vs Twin B Joe Fresh.  If McClure is gapping at the half like she did Saturday she won't catch Twin B either.

Interesting note -- Chris Page drives Christchurch a Diamond Creek, Taker trained horse -- not Gingras.

Maybe -- maybe not. Tattersalls next week is $400,000

Bowden has already proven he doesn't care about purse money but I was just kind of making a joke about the ducking issue.  As for Chris Page I think with all the entries Diamond Creek has coming into Hoosier, there will probably be driver conflicts so why not set something up now. Another possibility is they are thinking of moving him to another stable next year and Burke would probably be interested as he doesn't have a ton of FFA's and would respect Page's opinion.

If this is at all true, I'm sure Ronnie would have already talked to YG. I think he as respect for his opinion, You think he needs another opinion, the only one who counts is his.

Just idle speculation.  Setting up a driver for a possible conflict at Hoosier seems most likely.

Very interesting according to USTA -- now it's race 6.  There's a UK college football game that afternoon -- perhaps they're moving it for possible traffic congestion?

Not too many Jug horses are going to race two heats and then come right back and try to go with the top bunch.  Doesn't he deserve a little rest?

The owner of Its My Show has been on facebook all week touting his horse is better than Confederate! Then he ducks the race, hmmmm!

No way is he better than Confederate IMO.

Too much speed, would go past It's My Show like he was tied to the pylons LOL

Or how about they were displeased with the Jug driver

There’s no bait to take. He didn’t get by him the cup.
The race Saturday is a mild group so Confederate has zero excuse. Hopefully they will all meet in the BC final and the king will be declared.

Yes, he didn't go by. He lost the NA Cup by the fastest diminishing head I have ever seen. Confederate last 1/4 in 26   IMS 27   Only blemish this year. If this is what Mr. Young is hanging his hat on to say IMS is better than Confederate, God Bless him. I don't do Facebook and not starting an account just to read his ramblings. Owners don't normally talk like he does. Win with class/lose with class.

Agreed. They should have faced each other 4 or 5 times. That's how it used to be. Diamond Creek - breeding before racing. i get it. It's business.

they have been saying that for years...

yet prices and stakes purses going higher and higher ...

Jug $1 Million

Metro $970,000


Yearling prices off the charts

It is also bad for the future of the sport/industry. Confederate has not been very visible to people outside the industry. Now the biggest day at Lexington and he will nowhere to be seen. When the government subsidies go away, the breeding values will plummet.

He's very visible -- he's in the Bluegrass on Saturday at Lexington and he'll probably return the following Saturday in the Tattersalls, then on to Indiana.

Do your homework before posting.  The purse for the Metro was a million or more between 2001 and 2012.

The Meadowlands Pace purse was 668,000, the third lowest since the race started and even lower than in 1979 when Sonsam won and the purse was 750,000

The Jug was an anomaly they wanted to make a statement this year. 

When you look at the value of todays money vs then,  purses are down in value as well as numbers.

Balls on accurate    Woodrow Wilson used to go for 2 million or more   Yr had that race for young horses, the Lawrence b Sheppard and they had the Cane, the Yonkers Trot, Hudson Filly Tro,t Dexter Cup.I think Ceraso won the Sheppard with a small colt named  June's Baby one year. Went for like $660,000   All those races went for big money in the days it was worth more.

Simple, Gingras would go for it. Remember what he did to Somebeachsomewher e. Diamond Creek cannot take that risk.

Please tell us what Yanick did to SBSW.

They still have the Sheppard it was brought back in 2012. The problem with it is that it is early in the 2 year old season and NO ONE shows up except for a few NY breds that can handle a half.

your missing the point fellas and so i assume you dont breed/race horses
sure there was a few high profile stakes races back in the day that went for more, but how many horses can win those, correct 1, i think one year there was 80 horses entered in the woodrow, there was NO SIRES STAKES TO SPEAK OF, certainly not at todays level
now the average 3 yr old can earn top dollar by doing well in the sires stakes and doing well in some of the grand circuit or other major races
there is far more money available today than there was back in those days
look at how many sires stakes races go for good money with 5, 6 horses in them

Do you know who you are talking to?  Do you know what happens when you "assume" You know damn well Fuguzzi was a trainer.  I owned back then and published research books on breeding sales records and earnings. 

Won't go into too much detail but what would the 2 million dollar Wilson be worth in todays money?  5 million ? 6 ? More? 

Purses may be high today but don't have the same value

no biggie, Thorn..In a way he was kinda right about me, my contact with 3 year olds, stakes horses and Grand Circuit material was when I was grooming. The number of 3 year olds I trained could for in an elevator. I know next to nothing about breeding,

If a horse could go forward in an overnight race I don't care if he was by Threen Pound Finger out of Can't Pace Hanover  --  LOLOL
