When the yogurt stops working, when the veins have collapsed we'll see what tricks Casey next pulls out of her trousers.

Horse is still in the ballpark though.  But yeh, not getting it done.

The connections, his past performances, current challengers = expectations.

You only get 1 clunker, 2 clunkers in a row is unacceptable.

Let's see what happens next. 

[The Answer]

There will be NO next

[Sweet]

There will be NO next

Done

If not racing again...

Is Nijinksy retired or deceased?

[Harness racer]

There will be NO next

Why so vague?  What’s the actual story?

Based on that race line, he would be one of the favorites in a race with the same horses

I disagree, but not by much.

In stakes finals, at the BigM it ain't happening.

You want to be a 4yo and older top pacer in NA, be running in the 147 range or lower on the 1 mile oval.

You want to win in 148 and change under the last scenario you better steal the race going 123 to 3/4's.

Goofballs and claimers hitting that 148 change mark at the 7/8's and 1 mile with frequency, even cheap claimers too.

That mile is the equivalent of 47 and change.

[Sweet]

That mile is the equivalent of 47 and change.

Not for me.

Then we'll disagree on this one:

Parked out, still finished third.

[Sweet]

Parked out, still finished third.

The expectation is when this very lightly raced champion 3yo, now 4, doesn't ever get parked out by these.  Ever.

We all, almost all, consider Nijinksy, according to his connections letting him race, to be of the most capable to be world record class.  Horse is on lasix too.
