Highest Honors - Purchased One Share Today

Page 1 of 5Next

We needed some fresh meat, errr horses, and the value play on the Private Market seemed to be Highest Honors.  Purchased one share for $750 CAD (just missed out on the $725 share).

Please wish us luck!  We need it!

On a whim, I put in a $680 (Canadian) offer on Highest Honors earlier in the day and was surprised that it was accepted.  I felt like it was a good deal considering his consistency in race lines.  I have loved him since last November when SC Upstate told me about him.  

At the Next Gen he didn’t embarrass himself finishing only 3 3/4 lengths back.  3rd in the first Buckeye only back 3/4 length after mixing it up early.  Unfortunately, drew the 8 hole on Friday at Scioto for Leg 2 of Buckeye.  Hopefully, Aaron Merriman’s vertigo is in remission for the night.

Fingers crossed that he is leg 3 at Urbana Fair on August 4.  
Love me some fair action and the freedom to walk thru the barns.

HH has failed to pass a horse in the stretch in 3 of 4 starts.  And yet I purchased a share just yesterday.  Hopefully, we won’t have to rely on luck for a good outcome.  Mixing multiple topics here, but there were two more major power outages in the stretch today at the Meadows by the 2 year olds.

Welcome to the club, Norm.  Is this your first Stable.ca share in a while?

Not passing a horse in the stretch means that Highest Honors will fit right in 😁

Yes.  First since Fireandshine.  Love this guy’s potential but not very optimistic.  These horses are fairly fragile.   Ruin their will early and you might as well make them a nice family pleasure horse.  But hey, they are “athletes” and need to fight through it. SMH.

I hope this "partnership" of ours is more fruitful than Fireandshine. đŸ™đŸ€đŸ„ đŸ˜

I bought Fireandshine on the cheap and got what I paid for.

Yeah.  It wasn’t expensive for me either but it was for what I thought was a known quality or at least a reasonably projected future.  We got something that was in full regression mode.  I am going against what my eyes and suspicions are telling me and hoping that Highest Honors’ talent and pedigree overcomes whatever is stalling the progress of the overwhelming majority of his stablemates.  Am I the poster boy for insanity?

Do you guys prefer pacers to trotters? Or it doesn't matter whoever catches your eye that's the one you like. I'm much more of a trotting guy.
