Title: Johnny Football
Post by: Tavasco on August 31, 2013, 09:41:11 AM
Race #2 SAR MSW Turf 2 y/o\'s 1st Time starter Tr Eoin Harty.

This one is such a celebrity he was mentioned on ESPN sportscenter. Not touted mind you but in association with his namesake as the first start of campaign.

As a superstitious type, not keen to miss a mystic clue from out of the blue - I took a look at him only to find:

His sire Colonel John progeny very sprint oriented? Which surprised me. His dam Sweet November sure fits the profile of a turf router and may carry the day.

An odd couple from my vantage point. After all that, I now see he\'s scratched the race came off the turf I guess. So he may have been well intended. Plus I have so much invested in the creation of this msg (including a break to bring in the groceries for the woman) I\'m posting regardless.

Colonel John runners will run all day without a drink of water.  The multiple grade one Travers winner has Alydar, Seattle Slew and Damascus in his pedigree.

Because the son of Tiznow only has two year olds the data is accurate, yet misleading.  bbb

Tried again today BEL 2nd. Maybe he can sprint, he ran in front for about  5-6 furlongs and stopped like a brake lockup.

An Injury? Bled?
