The field also included Monkey King, no slouch himself. For a first outing of the season, the Reactors' connections must be tickled pink.<br /><br /><br />Impressive race for North America? No, but we need to remember this was a down under mile so it has to get measured differently.<br /><br />I may be wrong, but those who gambled on him by bringing him to North America may have been too hasty to get rid of him; especially since he had surgery in North America before his return home. Were he mine, I would have kept him up here and tried his luck against the best up here in the winter and hopefully worked him up towards a match with the FFAllers after getting used to racing here against cheaper stock while getting acclimiated.<br /><br />He may have been another San Simeon or he could have turned into something truly special. Now we will never know.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-51010565200397535042011-02-13T16:48:17.085-05:002011-02-13T16:48:17.085-05:00No, the Meadowlands is not running a bad meet righ...No, the Meadowlands is not running a bad meet right now; the problem is the talk was the Meadowlands was toast so that cost them customers. How much advertisement occured? Zippo. Then they ran that fall meet which kind of reinforced the talk. <br /><br />The smart gamblers figured why bother betting on a dying corpse so they moved on; to where I don't know fur sure though the closure of NYCOTB didn't help.<br /><br />Moral of the story? All the good momentum and good will you have can disappear in a moment and it takes a long time to build it back.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.com
