Does sound like a great plan!

Plus a percentage of any race winnings needs to be set aside in a "retirement" account. It would take so very little.

The Vets call for broad sweeping racing reforms!

This is a link to a petition - in french - about not having Sleeping Jack Race.

help us "sleeping jack", a race horse that was sent for retirement in June last year, they have now decided he should come out and run in the grand steeple de Paris!!

he has shown he does not want to nor cannot run but he is still set to participate. He has done his fair share of work run 41 races has won 13 and placed 14 times and won an amazing 835 000 euros but this is not enough apparently.!!!

Please sign the petition to let this boy have the retirement he deserves

Oohhhh, they are so sweet! Lookit the legs on #89! :shock:

by **Mr. Midnight's Mom** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:14 pm

I know - I think all TB's should have "Hope" as part of their names.......they're just babies....and will be running those long legs off - they are gorgeous - all the same...sigh

by **IMustBeCrazy** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:15 pm

They have no idea what is ahead of them. :cry:

by **snowshoehair** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:20 pm

Number #100... sweet boy, had both Damascus and Secretariat as great grand pappys..... <*sigh*>

by **IMustBeCrazy** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:32 pm

What did HE sell for????

by **Mr. Midnight's Mom** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:46 pm

You can check back on the site - there's a link for the results.....Secretariat in the pedigree is almost a kiss of death - his get were pretty lackluster....although I think his daughters made lovely broodmares - several stakes winners

by **IMustBeCrazy** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:53 pm

Found it. He sold for 60,000.

by **Mr. Midnight's Mom** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:54 pm

half price - saw a yearling with Secretariat on both sides sell for $10K last year.....pretty sad...

Excellent article.

That was a good article. Out of curiosity, why would a horse from Secretariats bloodline go for less money? He was a great horse - wasn't he?

by **Mr. Midnight's Mom** » Mon May 04, 2009 2:11 pm

He was a great horse - unfortunately - NONE of his sons or grandsons really ran well - I believe his daughters were good moms (meaning their get did ok)

Lindsay told me it was the KISS OF DEATH in the sales ring when a horse had a lot of secretariat. Just goes to show you can't breed for heart!

by **maryt** » Mon May 04, 2009 2:26 pm

Wow - what a shame! I never would have guessed that!

by **snowshoehair** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 2:28 pm

If any of you get a chance, read Fugly's column for June 15 - today.
