Be Bullish, 9 year old warrior at 995k lifetime.

His next start, if he finishes 1st or 2nd, will probably vault him over the 1 million mark in what will be his 84th lifetime start.

He was claimed today by Mike Repole for 16k.

Be Bullish, the backbone of the sport. A shout out to a gallant warrior!

The "take him,please " sign has been out for a while.
Jacobson has been probably scared (Blank)less for a while that the horse would break down on his watch and it would be hell to pay for him! I'm sure you could hear a loud sigh of relief coming from the barn after the race

Agree 100%. It is a shame others have to basically pay off Jacobson to do the right thing.

And then Pandy corrects me when I say that Jacobson is garbage.

We all have our opinions. I judge Jacobson on what I see happen to many horses in his charge. I hear how great he treats them when in his barn, and that could very well be true. But they eventually drop, and drop, and drop, until they wind up at Suffolk or some other track running for 4k in a race for horses that haven't run in a year. Lots of ugly stories develop from there.

Call me a sap, but I think horse like Be Bullish deserve better treatment than that. All horses do, but particularly ones that have been warriors and won a lot of money like he has.

Romancing the Gold dropped from NY 20/25s to Suffolk 4s yesterday, was off at 6-5, got the lead and stopped in the lane.

I would have hated being a regular Suffolk handicapper dealing with the intentions of Jacobsen droppers......then again Im sure none had good odds so maybe a play against them is the default play.

Good news going around. Cayambe was plucked from the bottom ranks
and goes back to a California rescue at age 10 thanks to his breeder Geri Forrester and others including Maggie Moss .

Tweets say he will evaluate him , then decide .

He's a courageous horse but obviously looks to stay at lower levels .
Pressure is on , hopefully retires from racing .

He's a warrior. He deserves to retire. It amazes me he ran so well and never really learned to change leads in the lane. Was always on the wrong lead it seemed. Maybe it was a physical ailment he just ran through.... tough horse either way

I saw Bullish on the workout tab, a slow 4F work a week or so ago.

I think he was claimed by Repole so, as far as i know, Repole still owns the horse, i'm not sure who's training him at the moment.
