Eight year old Methy Bus (A Bus x Annibynnol Meth), returns in 2019 for his final racing season, hoping to cap his illustrious career by capturing his 20th victory. With a current record of 49-18-11-6, he needs two wins to achieve that lofty goal.
In 2018, he managed just one win despite a sparkling average of 108 PSR in 8 starts. Owner Jim Webber stated that Methy Bus will concentrate on G2/G3 races this season in hopes of securing a couple more wins.
"He still has ability, but perhaps at age 8 he would be better off to avoid the kind of competition he will see at GR1 races," Webber confided.
According to the connections at Otsego Farms, Methy Bus will be joining their ranks of breeding stallions at the end of the year. Although he has performed on turf in 47 of 49 career races, Webber says that owners of prospective dirt broodmares should not overlook this stallion, "He prefers turf, no doubt, but he is OK on all aspects of dirt. I personally don't plan of shying away with dirt mares."
