I agree. I think they will have some bugs to work out at TBC before it settles back down - already a new "suspicious" post over there.
With regard to this site, I too, will spend more time here and try to bring new participants on board. It is indeed underappreciated, and I am grateful for everyone here who works to keep it going. Many thanks!

Interesting. One problem I see is that he's 8 years old. What happens if you bring him back and he's just a marginal racer? Do you let him drop through the ranks just to keep him active and happy? I'll be curious to see how this turns out - sounds like he is exceptionally cranky and bored.

Went to TBC a few minutes ago, and up came a page that I hadn't seen earlier in the day that simply says "We'll be back soon". My guess is that it's getting a complete teardown and overhaul...

I started to become a bit concerned this afternoon when I noticed that there have been no new posts all day - and that just doesn't happen. Not sure what's going on and haven't heard anything. Does Kurenai handle those issues now ? Hope this doesn't turn out to be another huge mess...

Whatever Happened To? / Teasing Bernie
June 15, 2016, 02:37:19 PM
Not sure how many people remember this guy - started out on the big stage at Del Mar, Hollywood Park and initially trained by Doug O'Neill.
He was involved in nasty spill at Santa Anita in 2012 and laid on the track for a spell before he got up and was vanned off. Began to rapidly drop in the ranks and now races at Chippewa Downs in bottom of the barrel claimers. He hit the deck again in his last race of 2015, and I suspected that retirement would be near.
I know that there were a few who followed him, and I'm happy to report that he made it back to the winners circle for the first time in more than
4 years this past Sunday (6/12/16) in his first race of 2016, and stuffed $1,200 in his pocket!
