Real Life Reflects The Sim

You know - and I know I've been guilty of it a lot - how we get some really strong fields in races...and then some obscure horse gets thrown into it?

Who on earth is Reata's Shadow? All I can find is that he's by Include...which, considering his first group of 3 year olds, may not be so bad...

2 time winner, took 5 tries to break his maiden and he's coming in off his allowance win which took him another 3 tries. Best beyer 87.

I think it's great that Nobiz Like Shobiz is going on turf (especially considering his CAH fake counterpart - Shobiz, was completely lousy on dirt, but at least won once on turf)

The problem is that Sahara Heat is going to beat him.

These things happen when you have too many top level races Patten - if there where enough horses of that levil to fill the races then owners and trainers wouldn't stump up the entry fee to run around at the back for 15k etc.

Reminds me of the "appearance money" scheme we had in the UK a couple of years ago to get more runners in the conditions stakes (our allowances) you got paid £500 just for turning up. Some trainers ran absolute no hopers in them - they became the "appearance money club" and would pick up £10k a season just for turning up. Saw one 20 runner race involving Guineas winner Island Sands, the betting went something like:

2/5 Island Sands
9/4 Easaar (Island Sands stablemate at Godolphin)
20/1 Red Lion
66/1 bar

I'm ecstatic that NoBiz won - bummed about Sahara Heat.

The Equibase chart says one of Sahara Heat's reins broke.
