About Brad Adler
Expertise
I specialize in racehorse analysis and valuation, handicapping, claiming and speed figures. I am, however, quite capable of handling other general inquiries regarding thoroughbred horses and their training and racing careers. In addition, I can advise current and potential owners in regard to their investment considerations, whether it be in the claiming game or the auction ring.
Experience
I have acted as a Racing Manager for many individual investors and partnerships since 1985. True student of the game; Andrew Beyer disciple. Special emphasis on claiming useful horses at any and all levels. Have owned and campaigned dozens of horses (including a few stakes winners) in many different states and with many different trainers.

Subject: Barbaro
Question
Do you think they tried too hard to keep her alive?
Should she just have been put down on the track?
Answer
Hi Mick:
I believe they did what was right for Barbaro. According to the vets, he had a chance to live out his life with a modicum of grace and dignity. Unfortunately, that did not happen. As is the case with humans as well, complicated medical procedures come with no guarantees. The horse was insured, and it may have been easy to just put him down soon after the Derby. But they elected to try and save him and should be applauded for their efforts.
