One complete untruth posted several times in this thread is that Gill makes money on his horse racing operation. That being said this thread is still several levels above the drivel in the comment section on Paulicks site...

I believe that is the point, which you have obviously missed. Last edited by ARyan : 01-26-2010 at 10:40 AM. |

I think the guy business is Mortgages in New England well that business can't be extremely profitable currently anyway.. I would think he is looking to earn not crack a bottle of Petrus when his 40 nickle claimer bounces on a field. |

Making the call as to when the horse should and shouldn't be run is not as black and white as you seem to think. |

You are right when you say accidents do happen but I would say that any dilligent trainer should and would know what is going on with their stock. It is apparent that riders have noticed a trend with Gill's horses and they have noticed enough to know it isnt worth the risk to ride them , for now anyway.

Obviously injuries of this nature can happen at anytime, anyone with even a limited knowledge of the game knows this. You, sir, are not the only person on this board who has a history with ownership, or a knowledge of "making calls." A reasonable decision process, on if a horse can race or is on the verge of breaking down and should not run, can be made. Is anything ever 100%, no, but with proper precautions and plausible judegment you can mitigate risk. However, I guess this way of thinking is just considered being a "horsey lover," and not being a dilligent owner/trainer. By just throwing caution into the wind, and running horses by any means necessary, even those who are on the verge of breaking down, you are knowingly risking the lives of every horse and every human in the race. |

And no question he gets a big thrill from winning nickle claimers. It's all about having action. It's not like he hasn't tried buying expensive horses. He's bought several unraced horses for low-to-mid six figures. The most memorable of which was Forest Music. Forest Music was the first horse to ever work a 1/4 mile in 20 and change at the Calder 2yo sale. She won her debut like a freak for Gill/Shuman in 1:08 2/5ths - got a 105 Beyer. Two weeks later, they shipped the obvious sprinter across country to run in the BC Juvie Fillies in the Halfbridled-Ashado race. They basically set her way back. The very first race after Gill sold her ... she went and dominated the Grade 2 Honorable Miss at Saratoga for Stonestreet/Asmussen. The guy doesn't have the patience of your typical wealthy snob owner. |
