Straight no chaser's last update stated that he might not run in the Kona gold on April 27th so now I'm wondering if there are any other options for him a little later? Does anyone know of any race he could go to instead of the G3 Kona Gold?

[Flanders]

Yup like the guy who mentioned he spent 7k on one of the horses I own a share in..that completely blew my mind. I can't fathom spending 7k on shares in a microshare horse..at that point just buy a percentage in an actual partnership. I'm happy with one share in each horse I get

Some people just like gambling on stuff. Look at how many people lost a TON of money buying "NFTs" or trash crypto coins. They probably don't do their due diligence and have no clue its next to impossible to make money back. The MRH setup isn't really for share owners to make money. Its to have fun and say you own a part of a horse. Maybe some people don't get that. Perhaps they feel like because they are a share owner that their opinions need expressed on every decision made. Or they get enjoyment out of complaining and riling up the other share owners. There are endless possibilities.

Authentic they didn't buy until midway through his 3yo year, after a normal Kentucky Derby would be ran. They made it so there was absolutely no way for the share owners to make their money back. They have to pin their hopes on him becoming a successful stallion. You can make money then right? Or is it still setup to be next to impossible?

We are still paying off kickers, I think we made $33 this year off of his stud fee. So... eventually we may make some money but not like... a lot. Maybe like... $100

Then they have some secret kicker on him becoming a successful stallion that they forgot to mention?

We have paid back 63% of the debt owed to Spendthrift so far, according to them.

Yeah that is some craziness, coming up on 4 years later. Maybe someday you'll make some money,

Forbidden Kingdom still targeting Kona Gold (g3), no new updates so far.

I remember thinking that the kickers on Authentic were so high, shareholders were unlikely to ever break even unless he became an extreme successful stallion. As the likelihood is low...I predict there will be many more irritated Authentic owners in the future

And now for the discussion point that's the elephant in the room: Seize the Grey. As predicted, his owners are either blaming everyone under the sun (jockey, other horses, etc.) or have resigned themselves to the facts. Unfortunately, there is a significant majority that is not the most realistic. Many are now hoping for the 5+ defections necessary for the horse to even sniff the starting gate. Since that's unlikely and unrealistic, MRH is not even hoping for it to happen....but have stated if it magically happens they are not against entering him in the Derby.

As @Missbeholder pointed out, majority of MRH owners are not regular followers of horse racing. Most really have no idea what is realistic and what is not. I can't describe how many owners have posted on Facebook asking questions like "why can't 4year old run in the Derby" or something similar. These are people who turn on the TV just for the triple crown and that's it.

STG is being pointed to the Pat Day Mile though so it sounds he will be running on Derby Day regardless. I dunno if he is quite fast enough to take on horses like Timberlake or Knightsbridge though. He is currently at Churchill Downs.

[CoronadosQuest]

Phantom Ride wins his third race in a row by taking the 6th race at Oaklawn Park today, a mile $45,000 claiming race on dirt. He was not claimed. He is by far my most consistent horse with MRH, I love him!

Secret crush ran third. Was flagged for vets list following race

[TapitsGal]

People are back to being sure seize the Grey will run in the derby since he's 22nd or 23rd on the AE list

[Squeaky]

STG needs a freshening then take aim at the Gr2/3 Derbies against second and third tier competition in the summer. Not a 20- horse calvary charge where he finishes well back and gets beat up in the process.

Honestly, I'd be happy to see him win a listed stakes first even. He hasn't even done that. He needs to find a soft stakes race before the Derby but I just don't see it happening. I think Just Steel will do better than STG. However, now that I've said that STG will prove me wrong which I won't be upset about

Agree a listed stakes with weakish competition or even high level allowance is where he fits currently. And I say that as a dedicated fan of the horse.

[CoronadosQuest]

We just got an update that they plan on running STG in the Derby if everything goes to plan, Lukas feels he is ready, and we have the opportunity to do so.

[brunanas]

honestly though would Lukas ever feel like a horse is not ready?

Secret Crush and Catalyst to farm

I usually avoid updating this before Wednesdays because of possible entries. But with the latest update on Seize the Grey, the derby fever has absolutely gone boiling. Every year there are horses like STG which we all know are long-shots and really should not run in the derby, but due to owners these horses are stuck. We definitely have a ring-side seat to this now. The number of people who are spouting about Rich Strike-like possibilities are loud, as are the ones who espouse how the derby is their dream. As pointed out by many, Lukas is one to run a horse if there's even a faint chance of doing well. Poor Seize the Grey.

[Starine]

Is Seize the Grey even likely to get in, points-wise?

[brunanas]

i think he can at least be entered as an AE. he's 23 atm.

Thanks. I'd really like to see him a regional derby, like Iowa's or Ohio's.
