I hope the bull comes out alive.... he had it easy last time out for Repole . Perfect stress free trip off a 2 horse duel. Opt N2X might make him over exert and get hurt for the demon. Oops  for David.

An old gamester like this tries REALLY hard, so what do you do? Put him in a race where he will have to extend himself to the bottom to get the win?

Be Bullish had a great trip, but he also looked great physically today drawing off to win.
Any word if he was claimed?

I know cj, but I don't think certain guys on this board have any clue about running a claiming barn. Jacobson isn't a player on the stakes scene. He makes money for his owners by running claiming horses where they belong and where they can win. He also makes money by taking other trainer's horses who he feels are mismanaging their chances.
Sure, sentimentality says that Be Bullish should be turned out to a pasture somewhere but if he is still a healthy productive asset it makes sense to make all the dollars you can with him.

Its ok to make money, but these "healthy productive assets" go bad REAL fast.....and Jacobson hasn't been too great at knowing when the time has come....he races them till they literally and sometimes tragically cant race anymore. Is he not smart enough to know when a horse is "done"?

This is the issue with the sport - do we owe anything to these warriors?
Jacobson is a very canny judge of horseflesh. No question. Do we owe the underlying horses anything? That's the part that gets me.

K mac and a few others here suggesting its a business, so no, you race till you drop, if the horse falls in a heap and dies, oh well, too bad according to them.

If a horse is sound at 10, I have no problem with them being raced. It is when they start to plunge and are trying to be dumped that it gets ugly.
