HIGH LIMIT...

[JohnTChance]

HIGH LIMIT is Bobby Frankel\'s 3 yr. old hopeful training bullets down at Palm Meadows.
The colt won both his 2 yr. old starts very impressively at Delaware for trainer Anthony Dutrow
and was purchased privately for Frankel client Gary West [apparently via Frankel\'s guy, bloodstock
agent Mark Reid]. Recently, when I saw this colt\'s bewilderingly fast [very low single-digit] ThoroGraphs,
my eyes bulged. Sheesh! How can Frankel improve upon that? From Anthony Dutrow? Can you steroid
a colt that\'s already been steroided? [Yes, but you have to wait a while - lay the colt off and give him
 some time. And that\'s just what Frankel\'s done.]

It should be noted that Frankel took MASTER DAVID from [the potent-vetted] Tony Mitchell last season -
off a ThoroGraph 4 - and COULDN\'T work his magic on the colt. [See above: Can you re-steroid?]

I haven\'t heard too much about HIGH LIMIT and was eagerly awaiting his 3 yr. old debut in the Swale Stakes
this coming Saturday at Gulfstream [an orgasmic coming-out party like Frankel\'s MIDAS EYES in the same
race two years ago?]. But now comes word that HIGH LIMIT will run in the Louisiana Derby in mid-March.
Not with Prado attached. But, interestingly, with Ramon, who rode him to two smashing wins as
a two year old.

With Frankel committed to only two preps, the La. Derby and [I\'ll assume] the Wood Memorial,
the colt cannot make any mistakes. He needs earnings to get into the Derby field.

HIGH LIMIT is one to watch.

Mark Reid was a decent high % trainer in his day at Pha Park. He also is responsible for St. Liam going to Dutrow Jr and is manager of Ltd Partnership that owns that one. Funny how the ties that bind continue to intertwine. Maybe they don\'t have to re-roid after all. It\'s all one big happy family.

Thanks for the insight to this Roider, um, I mean runner.

\"and COULDN\'T work his magic on the colt. [See above: Can you re-steroid?]\" there you go, horse didnt fire or he didnt turn out that good, I guess he didnt have the good stuff in him, uh no he was slow.

Maybe its time to start a 2005 KY Derby  Rumor and Innuendo Ranking system. And the first entrant is High Limit, trained by Frankel, administered steroids, and its not enough to say that his current trainer is administering steroids, but his prior trainer was also administering them.
         

Anytime I read a new unsubstantiated mention of CHEATING on the road to Louisville, I will dutifully add the name of the animal to this list.

Remember, all high profile vets and trainers will be ASSUMED guilty until their ACTUAL guilt is proven

Master David debuted with a 2.0 here and never reached that level again.

It\'s not cheating if you don\'t get caught. And in the case of steroids, it\'s not cheating even if you do.

You can give a horse most any kind of steroid in all U.S. racing jurisdictions.
