BEAU and MAMBA this weekend!

[Harness racer]

bye bye bobblehead bob!   

[Sweet]

As I posted after NA Cup eliminations, he is off behind. Is that the reason he has been getting beat? Who knows? Some can go with soreness, some can't. Also, sometimes a horse never gets any faster from 2 years old to 3 while others do.

If you trained, owned BJ would you ever allow this driver on that horse who from his own words is absolutely riddled with fear to lose on him, and before you answer please listen for yourself?

This is from May 17, 2026, Mohawk Race 7 BJ's second pm win as a 3yo after his layoff.

Pick it up at 5m mark, he's asked about the "pressure" in the interview of driving BJ....

"I don't want to make a mistake that is going to tarnish this horse's legacy in the end."

"I don't want to do anything that's going to be a blemish on there."

As I've said before NO!
Just watched the replay,  couldn't watch last night
Bad drive, getting cooked to a half in 53..but having said that, the horse doesn't look right. Something is off there.
Brandon Blvd the best 3 year old this year with the best driver

I dont think Bob is to blame.  He's doing nothing different than Dex..yannick.. Timmy or anyone else would do. Beau is supposed to be the inferior colt and with the type of horse he supposed to be moving to the lead in a 53 half shouldn't cook him.  The horse is clearly not right something is wrong with him.  He was on the run behind the gate and has been struggling to clear Colts he was beating under wraps.  With that being said Brandon blvd is the best 3 year old colt hands down! I was excited I thought we had a summer of battles coming up but it appears Beau has left the chat. I do believe something is wrong with him and I'm sure they will figure it out. I dont think blaming Doc Moore or Bob who have been there from the start and developed him into what he was/is is the correct thing. Sad thing is most people pointing fingers probably have never owned or dealt with a horse who could pace 58 never mind 48

[Checked Up]

They'll get it figured out and fixed! Definitely looks like there's alot of "Head
Scratching" going on right now. There's also probably some "throwing darts and see what sticks also happening". I don't think that he will continue much longer if he doesn't show improvement, but what do I know??

Yeah, I think they're at a tipping point now. If they can't right the ship here quickly, his stud value's going to start to tarnish.

For everyone wanting to blame the driver, that's your prerogative, but it's not the only thing going on here. Anyone who thinks so hasn't been around many, if any, horses, as I think MCR was alluding to.

It is clearly both driver and horse
Both things can be true at once
Driver always has a huge roll to play.
Look at OOMM.. JMac driver.. wins the Cup
Wrenn driver..can't even win a sire stakes race
