WHAT IS THE LIFETIME UTRS?

Good question! This asshole is a total joke I don’t think he’s ever won a race!

Not the first time this happened to me. This one hurt. It was money for the whole group of us.
Life goes on.
I enjoyed the stakes season immensely. Had a chance to watch the horse race live more often than not. Won the first of 2 divisions at Saratoga Memorial Day weekend ( a nice birthday present). You don’t get a sires stakes often so it was fun to enjoy the experience. Maybe another opportunity comes up in the future. Time will tell.
Thanks to everyone for following the journey and the posts associated with this.

It happens to every owner Rainy! You've had a good solid season with your stable. Since I know you (35 years), you've always had good luck with your partnerships. Keep up the good work!

If Beau Jangles races in the Jug 2 heats and wins

that would instill some confidence ....but

would rather breed to a horse like Captains Quarters

or Nijinsky.


The former raced all Stakes races..no Sire Stakes

Metro Winner, NA Cup elim and 2nd in Final and

Jug heat winner..

He took on all top colts and never backed down

win or lose...Top Maternal Family in the sport

Raced against Captain Albano, Legendary, Nijinsky etc

not Grade 3 Sire Stakes horses.

The OSS Sire Stakes is B racing at best...

Beau Jangles also very weak maternal family....

super horse...but given top mares he will produce

some good ones...my guess

Nijinsky..really?  Unfortunately for him he's a son of Bettors Delight. Betters Delight might have been the greatest sire of all time but as a sire if sires hes been a failure. I wouldn't take the chance. 
  Captians Quarters was a nice horse and all....but there is not a lot of commercial appeal. He should be ok from the limited chance he'll get.  SHould be a good OSS stallion and decent vale for $5000
