marshall barkmanFred....here is the deal with Charlestwon race track. They have the largest purses in regards to claiming races in the entire country period. Also there is a 25% state bred fee that kicks in if your horse is West Virginia bred.The track writes alot of races for State bred horses only. If you have a maiden that wins money at any level then the state of West Virginia pays you 25% on top of that. Having said that if your horse makes 75,000 for the year then the state of West Virginia will write you a check for 18,750.
We currently have two mares one out of Golden Missle(Seattle Slew bloodline) and the other out of Storm Cat. We won two breeds in a Kentucky charity auction, one is to Buddha and the other Albert the Great. Buddha ran his eyeballs out and has Unbidled blood which i love. Albert the Great is just the most intimidating animal i have ever stood next to. He has the fastest time at 1 1/8 for a three year old ever run at Belmont and believe me there have been some classy animals over that strip. His son Abertimus Maximus won the Breeders Cup dirt 1,000,000 race a few months back and just won a 500,000 stakes race at Gulfstream park.
I know Charlestown does not get alot of money in the pools. What you should do is bet elsewhere so to not run the odds down. Smitons Bay has a long stride and she is lazy and we are pointing her for 1 1/16 so don't bet her this evening. I'm only betting on her because it is horse racing and anything can happen. Baseball Card Kid however is a different story so 100 across the board with the bookie might not be a bad idea.
