Location: Somewhere between S@%&# stirrer and Saint		 Several years ago I sold a Mr. EYE OPENER colt at the All American sale. A Mexican bought him. But didn't pay for him so Ruidoso didn't release his papers so he could not run as a 2 year old. However he did run in schooling races at Salisaw. He had the fastest time that spring for 2 & 3 year Olds. He was the talk of Oklahoma. Rodney Reed was training for me and went to go look at him because he wanted to buy him. Rodney didn't think he would get much bigger for the 3 year old year so he didn't buy him. The colt made a ton of money match racing as a 2 year old. They paid Ruidoso and ran him officially as a 3 year old. He didn't get taller and became a common horse.He went back to the match races and raced the 200 yards and won lot more money. Match racing is done where ever the Mexican trainers can find a place to make a track or rent one. I agree they do race them hard but I have seen them take very good care of their horses.
