Perfect Thought

#31 · August 16, 2025, 3:44 PM

I joined Thestable a few years ago due to two Illinois breds. Illinois has turned into a joke Hoosier is about 3.5 hours from me. I get there a couple times a year. Was there for both the Breeders Crown weekends a couple years ago. Close to the southern Ohio tracks. I will sometimes stop at Hoosier for a night before heading to Ohio. I wished they raced on Sundays.

I think last year or two years ago Thestable had a couple Indiana Breds, but did not race them there that often. ( Mounds for All, Mel Gibswan)

No Perfect Thought this week but Miss Fancy Nancy is in tonight.

Missed her race but looks like she did very well in finishing 2nd.

As for TheStable being in multiple jurisdictions, I concur with the sentiments posted above. Splitting up the huge Northfield barn into smaller units in southern Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, keeping on with Twaddle in PA, and the OGs in Canada may be a better way to go.
1. More clients would have better opportunity to visit

2. everybody talks about the difficulty attracting and keeping quality staff, it would be more manageable I would think.

3. You don’t need to train down 2 year olds in such large groups. 3 is about the number a head trainer can expose them to good experiences, and more importantly, keep close tabs on how they are doing each time out.

What do you all think?

She's back in tonight, it's a bit worrisome that she's been off three weeks and coming back off being sick. Hopefully she's ready and Cory can give her a good trip.

I second that sentiment. Best of luck Mark.

@lonnie & @bgtolex25

Thanks guys. I thought Cory did a really nice job with her, backed the second quarter down then sat and waited for someone to challenge, when they did he asked her for a little and that was all that was needed.

Corey Callahan at 6-5 was a frightening thought. Never liked him on a favorite. A bomb? Absolutely. Congrats Mark on a nice win and maybe the best drive of Corey's life. 🙂

You said what I was thinking but didn't want to say.
