Also considering that they paid 10k just to retire the horse. Many times if a horse is at the end of his line, the current connections will sell the horse for a reasonable price to someone who wants to give him a home. Not these guys though, they'll just keep racing him till he drops. Saul wasn't ever going to have a happy ending in the barn of Bruce Golden Racing, David Jacobson trainer.

Great pics - nice post.
Can only think of one better - Jacobson's last day at the track.
The Killer misses this one.

No I want you to post things you can back up as facts and things you know to be true, not the baseless speculation you consistently vomit up here...

Baseless speculation? They're called opinions, we all have them.

I'm always on the look out for these types when I review replays when handicapping. They have that need and loves to win look.

He's referring to the post where you accuse the vet of lying about the horse being sound, which you don't even have the "guts" to admit you did when called out. Typical of you, but pathetic.
