No consensus on 2yo Emeritus


The fate of Emeritus has been a topic that has bounced around our stable for months.

There is definitely a faction that suggests we sell the brown colt. In limited action, he has fashioned a 4-0-0-0 record with just $5000 in earnings. His speed scores have also been low.

On the other hand....we like him.

By Octagonal Waltz out of Awabuy, he shows interesting traits and we're just darn curious how he'll turn out as he matures.

He's good on dirt or turf and is very consistent. Emeritus is also a bit of a slow starter who like to trail the field. These are traits I admired in Nightwing, which may explain our attachment to the Big E.

Overall, his ability, and the AR compiled by out trainers can be described as average at best. And yet, we're inclined to stick with this fellow.

Because we like him.
