Dear J.B, over a period of time I gather some of J.B tid-bits .If you allow and your readers likes it will post it. Here are some of the samples.
1-Often late starters are late boomers insofar as not reaching their ultimate best until they are 5 or older.
2-Horses can always bounce or react short-or long term to a new top, paradoxically slight new tops often presage more imminent improvement.
3-Healty stake level grass horses seldom run too far off their best.
4- Be aware that while we always look for newtops, they come far less often than we expect.
5-Stake-level 3 yos can get real good in the spring and be able stay that way for a while
6-Pairing his previous top first out this year, a good sign.
7- An ouchy sort that doesn't run long campaigns; these types often fire big first out off the layoff.
8- Sometimes big efforts close together take a lot out of a young
Horse.
9- Unsound horses often run their best off a layoff.
10- The classic pattern of the unsound horse—short campaigns and long layoffs
Please pardon the Japanese........
TONY, JB IS TRYING TO TEACH COUPLE THINGS TO US, INSTEAD OF MOCKING ME READ WHAT THE MAN SAYS. OBVIOUSLY HE KNOWS MUCH BETTER THAN I ABOUT THESE ANIMALS ,MAY BE HE DOES NOT KNOW AS MUCH AS YOU DO,IF YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE I WILL LISTEN YOU WHOLE DAY. THANKS AND REGARDS.
y - I would ask some Japanese friends to translate but they are a lot busier than we are - apparently. Somehow I got a feeling Chuck is back in town . .. I thought Nct\'s response was ok - relax , Enjoy the weekend imo . I\'m going with Strawberry Tart in the San Clemente , she seems bread for better on turf and at route distances - right ? , thats all I\'m going to say about the race now - not next Monday . . .
Best racing Luck this weekend on both coasts Everyone !
