I'm beyond shocked right now. I bought into this horse as a yearling because I loved arrogate. Now I own a Preakness winner

I was lucky enough to be an Authentic shareholder, but I think today even tops that experience. We were with Seize the Grey from day one. To watch him develop from his first days under saddle to what he did today...unbelievable!

Same reason. All because of Arrogate. As much as I question decisions made by MRH writ large….such as this because I thought the short time between races would be detrimental and this was a marketing ploy…turns out I shouldn’t think and just enjoy the ride. This is something…

He did it. Somehow, he did it.

I also thought this was a marketing ploy. Seize the Grey is an April 22 baby. And the two-week turnaround.

@Tapitsgirl, we are the jinx, I guess. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.

Im waiting to see if MRH sends us one like they did Authentic when he won the Derby!

You're not wrong.

Mrh just picked up a bolt d'oro and practical joke babies yesterday at the sales. Depending on assigned trainers there goes my winnings

They picked up an Improbable colt too for $210k (which is one I will buy into cus I loved him! and the colt has a flashy blaze like dad)

They got an Omaha Beach that's 100% MRH owned.

Bares Tripper(part of the NY bundle) sold to suited&booted racing and bhupat seemar for 57k. After splitting the profits with the partner mrh takes home 23k. They'll pay out the shareholders in a special dividend after the bundle sells out

Looks like STG is aiming for the CA Crown and the 5 M bonus offered by 1ST Racing

I really don't think anyone is shocked by this considering mrh has a partnership with 1st racing. But at least Grey pointing to the Pegasus longterm ensures he will return to run at four for awhile anyway

Classic Cut will remain at lone star park and transfers to Steve asmussen's barn. They want to keep him at the allowance level and said when Indy starts back up that's an option

Adaay in Asia finished 5th in Mizdirection Stakes(Listed)

Correction from last post-Seize the Grey was foaled in the early hours of April 20, 2021. Mill Ridge has some cute foal, weanling and yearling photos of him on their Facebook page.

As a small fun fact-we Seize the Grey shareholders technically didn't receive confirmation he's headed for the Belmont until today (5/23), well after all of the news articles.

I am bearish on Seize the Grey doing well in the Belmont, despite his recent performances. First, it will be his 6th race in about 4.5 months. Second, he had every advantage in both Peter Pan and the Preakness-I doubt the racing gods are going to be this generous perpetually. Third, he's sired from the Unbridled's Song line and out of a dam who retired early due to injury. Neither of these are recommendations for durability. Therefore, despite the optimism pervading the Seize the Grey owners, I am not thrilled about the Belmont and would rather he skipped it. I'm not budging despite the success he's had. You can't count on luck to save you every time- look no further than Just Steel.

(Edited to add entries)

I hope he holds together too -I fear at some point his break benefits are going to wear off and the overuse effects will start to kick in. I hope not and will keep rooting for him. Maybe he can get a break after the Belmont until the Travers.
