Underwhelming 3yo crop has owner contemplating change

Unhappy with the performance of several of his homebred 3yo racers, Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber has begun the process of finding new homes for some of them.

"Of the nine, I'm only satisfied with two at this point.  Warp Factor Ten (9-5-1-1) has been outstanding, and Jack the Ripper (5-2-1-0) will undoubtedly prove to be the most successful of the crop.  The others have been very disappointing", Webber commented recently while attending Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami.

Of the others, Charlemagne probably has the best chance to stick.  He appears to trending upward and those in the know suspect he'll pan out eventually.  Crackerjack, Samurai Jack, and Trebuchet have looked ordinary at best and Juggernaut has performed very poorly.  The filly Bouduca has been an unmitigated disaster, even if you take her relative immaturity into account.

"Of the five on the hot seat, I suspect I'll sell two or three of 'em", Webber stated.
