LOL

Thanks for the encouragement, you never know what you'll get when you claim but looks good so far

@@JayCNehfracing I would agree however ulcer treatments are needed and I'm sure c can do some nice bodywork. Can you give ulcer paste for font and hind gut?

Thanks Dan

Thanks Kim

@@JayCNehfracing Oops looks like I gave you a shortened version of your name! Apologies!

Nice signs!

LOL

Thanks Peter

Cynci and I have our mare, Evening Sonnet, in foal to Classic Empire and due in early May. I guess you could say we're fans of CE

Thank you

.. Jay is probably busy at the moment, so, I will give you the answer to that question.. When you claim a horse from a race, the claiming tag (card) has to be dropped into the locked claim box at least 15 min "prior" to the horses going to the gate.. That said, you have no way of knowing who the winner will be for that particular race. Last minute decisions on whether or not to claim a particular horse are usually made at the saddling paddock after viewing the horses warming up in the walking ring, prior to the jockey's getting a leg up.. You check the horse you want to claim for any last minute problems you may see while he is walking around.. If everything looks good, you go and drop the claim tag into the box for that race.. Hopefully nobody else has done the same thing on the horse you want or you will have what is called a "shake," to determine who gets the horse.. A shake is basically numbered balls in a jug and you draw to see who wins.. Simple as that. Sometimes there may be 3 claims for one horse and then it's called a 3-way shake or 4-way shake depending on the number of claims for that one horse.. This info is legit, as I have been a CHRB licensed thoroughbred owner for the past 14 years... Hope this answers your question... ;-)

Yes, that's right. Most trainers are quite pleased to grab the horse finishing second because, in this case, it's still able to run in the easier maiden races rather than having to move up to run against winners.

@@JayCNehfracing .. Exactly! And also.. If it doesn't win that particular race, you still have the maiden, non-winners of two and starter allowances available to run in with lower class horses. If you so choose.

Video coming today for the Mendelssohn.

@@JayCNehfracing great!

Uh oh! I'm working on the video now. She's impressive. I have to admit, she's growing into a better horse than I had envisioned. And smart, too. I'll try to get the video out today.

@@JayCNehfracing -- I cannot wait !!

Love that black and white tail

He must think so, since he did it.

@@goatgirl5968 well then good luck claiming off the winningest trainer in the history of racing.

I don't even think Jay has 20 wins in his whole career, but he will find something that Steve missed🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I guess you could look at it that Kentucky racing is more competitive. This filly has come close a few times, maybe California racing is just what she needs. Who knows. But I am not going to blame a guy for trying. This whole business is about taking a chance.

@@goatgirl5968 We,l l wish him the best, wasn't my money claiming from Steve.

Hi William. Classical Romance will not be part of the club because the claiming process is so risky and unpredictable- or shall I say more risky and unpredictable than starting with a yearling. however, the Mendelssohn filly is part of the club and membership is available ay our website www.californiaturfgroup.com

@@JayCNehfracing I don’t think you’re risking much by your claim. That was a Great Deal getting a 100k Filly for 30k. Try to get a bunch of those and sell shares and keep flipping them in the Claiming Races and make a few profit and fun in the process. I wish I can do that🥰 I bet you can do that 2-3 Times a month and grow your Stables. And not risk much of your money and our share prices could go higher also to accommodate the inventory and spread out the risk for everyone. I’ll start looking for good candidates 😛

Thanks Jenn

Wow! I have only been to the races in France and absolutely love it there. Cynci and I were at Chantilly, Longchamps and Auteuille (I'm sure that spelling is wrong).

@@JayCNehfracing I hope to see you in France or GB in the near future

Do you train or claim horses?

Maybe you should start training since you have it all figured out 🤔

See above.

It doesn’t matter which Trainer you claim your horse from. You want Value. And a 100K Horse dropping from a MSW is valuable. Specially for 30k. That’s a 70% Discount. Steve is trying to Graduate her and hoping the Purse Monies would even out the Risk of getting Claimed. She already paid out some of the 70% he lost with the Purses she won. So he will drop more good MSW horses for others to claim. It’s business...

Oh and I’m not a Trainer or in the Horse business. But I’ve bet on Horse Racing since my Grandpa took me to the Races when I was 12. And I’ve won more than 9K Races through the Year’s. I probably bet and seen Millions of Races through the Year’s. So I’m an expert 😂

who???

@@JayCNehfracing .. Leland Decker at Green Valley Training Center. Chowchilla, CA. The best in the state. Or do you mean, who? as in which filly? Then the answer would be the one in this video (Sparky)

@@ausfuhrpramienjagar I don't think a another trainer for sparky is going to change her ability to do her usual airs above the ground. She may need some concentration exercises through repetitive and slow work in small chunks to see if she will fill in any rudimentary gaps there might be specific to her behavior today. She is enthusiastic not mean.

@@MLOCharmer .. I'm not saying to change trainers.. You must not know Leland Decker then.. That is exactly what he is capable of doing at his training center.. He isn't a racing trainer at the track per se', but a trainer that gets rid of problems and small behavioral quirks that some horses have or may develop over time, on and off the track.. Unpleasant behavioral habits in other words. He gets their heads back on straight and ready to run. He gives them a refresher training regimen and in about 30 days they are as good as new. Those types of habits and behavior will not be fixed staying at the track and racing every 3 to 4 weeks.. The time away from the track and dealing with the specific problem is what will fix them..

@@ausfuhrpramienjagar great response thanks

LOL attitude but a pleasure to work with
