I think Burke said his best horse ever!

I don't put a lot of stock in that. Seems like it gets thrown around by the big trainers a lot. Takter also comes to mind.
Not saying he's not a great horse.

How could he possibly say that when he had Foiled Again. It is probable that we will never see a more gutsy, durable and talented horse.

This is no surprise after the last story. Another horse won from your stable. Lose with dignity.

Burke must have been overruled. In any case, this is just another nail in the coffin of harness racing. You need stars to pull in fans. Harness racing desperately need to have the handouts to end.

[Lockedin With Pace]

Whether he came back at 4 or not didn't matter because pulling in new fans for harness racing is virtually impossible. The majority of fans were older people, and many have passed away, and no one has replaced them. Even with T-Breds, other than Keeneland, Saratoga, Delmar's summer meet, the Triple Crown, and Breeders Cup, racetrack grandstands are basically empty.

[Stan durbread]

Very few top 3 year olds have ever come back at 4 in both breeds. Likely Louprint had more starts than the top 5 Kentucky Derby finishers combined. Bettors don’t care, if a top 3 year old comes back as a top older horse those races are unbettable. Breeders don’t care. If a top horse retires the owner is going to buy more. Only ones that might care are casual fans and let’s be real they add very little to the industry.

[Brown jug]

how many new pacing sires can the market handle
confederate, cannibal, legendary hanover, sippinonsearoc,louprint to name a few

Exactly. They could clone bret Hanover and niatross and it wouldn't do a thing.

There are no fans of harness racing. Youre either a horsemen a breeder an owner or a gambler. Only way out of this is to exterminate CAWs and reduce the price to gamble to something competitive with other gambling games in the space

You will never eliminate CAW. Especially now that AI is available to virtually anyone. It would help if the state legislatures would lower take out rates. But you will never convert slots players to handicapping. Slots require no effort and those players don’t want to work to get results
