Wink Americanus - 3rd at the Spa Today

#6. Americanus...

This guy was claimed off Kimmel a few months ago for 50k.

I knew back then that running him for a 50k tag was terrible TERRIBLE mistake, but what is a lowly stable hand to do???

In my opinion the owner is 2 bricks short of a full load. I LOVE this horse! I would have taken him with my LAST 50k, (if I was fortunate enough to HAVE 50k) and even if that left me with just enough to buy a bologna sandwich.

Seeing him on TV does him no justice. he is SOOOO handsome!

He wasn't claimed for 50k,,,,
He was STOLEN for 50k. As you can see by his form,,, in just a few months,,, the new owners got a free horse, PLUS... pockets full of extra fun tickets.

If you can watch this race, take notice of his break. You'll not see a horse leave the laches better than he can. He is outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus... I don't wager very often, but I'm gonna support him today. If you are wagering on this race. I wouldn't be so quick to throw him out of your trifecta.

I believe this guy is destined to be (at very least) "a good racehorse". If he's feelin' good today.. he should be a weener.

When you break as good as he does, you DICTATE to others where they have to be in early going... instead of the other way around.

This horse always breaks sharp as a TACK! and still has plenty left in the tank.


Watch him.
