The horse in question (Backed by Gold) who offers absolutely ZERO positive reasons to consider, other than a potential Turf Pedigree, which quite obviously the present connections were banking on via a HORRIBLE $25K claim that they're suddenly very desperate to depart with. Following the first two debacles, there's NO CHANCE that they might retain a "respectable joc" to take this mount,..the filly proved a "head case" twice prior to again acting squirrely in the race of regard this past Friday. The "only" case that could be made for this Bad Actor (NOT the guy in this contest) is the potential reasoning that she was backed at 7-2 odds in her debut, and the fact that Fridays field was l-o-n-g short of stellar! As for the discussion of weight, "Net's" valid recognition of "Handicap Races" of "past generations" is exactly that,..we no longer have such racing today. The "apprentice weight allowance" is more often than not utilized by trainers who wish to have their horses run freely on the "front end." I personally DON'T recognize weight differences, unless perhaps the difference is "spotting virtually an entire field" by say 7 - 10 lb.'s,..even then, I need be assured the apprentice is COMPETENT! Please do allow me to put this in perspective,..say the average horse weighs 1075 lb.'s, and the avg. joc. carries 118 lb.'s,..make the apprentice 113 lb.'s,..5 lb.'s difference. If I tied a sack of potatoes (3 lb.'s) on your back and asked Ya to run 40 yd.'s, do Ya really believe if I removed #1 potato from the sack you'd recognize a difference??? ...that might actually be a greater difference than equating such to a massive, fit T-bred Race Horse in proportion to the the regarded weight disparity of jockeys ,..the respectable, journeyman joc. will generally more than compensate for such a minuscule difference in weight that any apprentice carries, UNLESS. the regarded apprentice is "Steve Cauthen",..then there's most definitely a small added advantage,..You get the picture! ...that's simply my opinion from experience! As for "Backed by Gold", the filly is a "work in progress,"...she potentially likely needs a few "major changes" that I would be (and was) look'n for,..the addition of blinkers (for focus),..perhaps a shadow roll (for basically the same), and unless Ya get a potentially close enough look (paddock - post parade), I'd recommend a Ring-Bit or perhaps even a Figure-Eight (the second is easily recognizable on live telecast),..both offer considerable more CONTROL by the jockey. It's been apparent that this filly needs all the help (change) she can receive! Finally, I don't believe in wasting races for horses (run'n them out-a conditions - over their heads),..most are what they are with only "so much upside!" The fact is, as a NY Bred, the connections who apparently want out following a Bad Claim, should've and still should run this horse in a Mdn Clg $11K 6f race at "Finger Lakes" (Purse $16K - only $2K less than that of Mth Park),..perhaps the moderate appeal of a "NY Bred" might entice that of a potential purchase, but it won't in Jersey! A WIN and a potential claim at this level would provide a return of 60% purse value ($9,600) and claim $11K,..that's $20,600 of a Crap $25k claim,..they at present already took a race away! // ...again, just my humble opinion, but I do this day-in - day out, virtually every day of my Life! I have "Stable Partners" and We presently have but two horses,..our current record for 2022 is,..13 st's / 4 1st's / 5 2nd's / 3 3rd's // $62,941 // Our record since year 2000 is,..773 st's / 197 1st's / 134 2nd's / 121 3rd's // $3,426,781 // We're a Multiple Stk's Winning Ownership (including a $200K purse) from a $10k claim // we shared in the title for most N. Amn. WINS by a horse in a given year (10) from a $6,250 claim. I personally manage this stable as I breath,..we've been in existence since 1982,..I was but a 22yo when we created it. // WINNING at anything takes Effort, but recognizing where your opponents may be vulnerable is key! // OBTW "Net's," You suggested that "No one will claim any of these" from said race,.."Sassy Charlee" was claimed by "Rafael Schistl,"...do You ever regard to "Charts???" // and that's a wrap my friends!
