Looks like its trainer Karl Broberg....wonder if he bets on himself.....is that allowed....guessing it must be
199 Karl Broberg-1 69.20
Unreal scene in Forego. Firenze Fire tried to savage the leader Yaupon, at 1/8 pole and actually had Yaupon's bridle in his mouth. And Yaupon still won, despite being savaged.
If the 8 would have won the photo, is biting your opponent grounds for DQ?Unreal scene in Forego. Firenze Fire tried to savage the leader Yaupon, at 1/8 pole and actually had Yaupon's bridle in his mouth. And Yaupon still won, despite being savaged.

Correct.Horses bite AND kick.
Know the name.Blueline,
Do you know Frank Mustari? His 26 year old son took down the $750k first prize for this tourney. Frank is a VERY sharp handicapper. Apparently his son learned well. I knew Frank fairly well back in the 90s....often would sit with him and Santucci in the Arlington OTB. I've seen him a few times in the past 15 years, always at tourneys at the Orleans.

Valuist i am sure you remember Frank was a top softball player in the Chicago area back in the 90's. He was paid to play on teams. he would frequently be at Arlington in his softball uniform.
Matties with a horse in at PID. Ran once at PID went back BEL and ships back to PID to run in a 12K claimer.
Does have the top " number " in the race.
First start for a Matties horse in the last 30 days and I have him 1/27 over the last 365 days
Had no excuse and almost blew place.
Top number on what?
The "top number" line was more of a throwaway line just pointing out the horse had a shot to someone skimming the thread.
My post was more about Matties' training activity than assessing the horse's chances.
Wonder how NYRA views a small barn shipping out to run....don't know how they handle stall allocation.
FTR the " number" I was referring to is a number put out by the person who makes the variant for the stuff I use.
Going in Matties was 78 vs a 75 for the horse who won the race.
Using FPS Matties was about 1.5 lengths faster than the winner going in.
Can't see on my stuff what the variant is/was
On TG the winner was 0.75 faster.
