The picture of Anthony Farrior in the “BloodHorse” article dated December 8, 2023 *** HIWU Alleges Violation by Mid-Atlantic Trainer Farrior *** gives me the creeps.
Oh look at that. Anthony Farrior mentioned 2 days in a row for killing horses.
Despite all the rules & regulations regarding claiming races or ” For Sale” horses, we have ALWAYS hated claiming races. Always felt a new prospective owner was going to be taken advantage of. Kinda like buying a used vehicle! One never knows what you`re really going to end up with after the claim. Have seen many people taken advantage of in the “Claiming Game.” This business we have heard from a good friend who is battling cancer & now has moved to Louisville from Oregon for better treatment, has heard the horse people all admitting that racing is declining even in Kentucky!
