Riley Mott using the Juddmonte silks as his facebook avatar was a telltale sign.

What happened to Sherriffs?

Haskin suggested today he may take some West Coast-based and Mott for Eastern-based.

I hope Mott delivers he certainly will have trouble equaling the success that Frankel had. I have a feeling anybody would.

You don't think Shug would be able to duplicate the success?

NT

Call me anything you want.. Make fun of me.. Call me a JO.. I don't care..Don't f with Shug he is beyond approach PERIOD..lol

I was hoping they would go outside the box and give Chuck their horses. Chuck just needs a chance with some good stock. If you look at his posting record you can see that he has won over 13,000 times, a DT record.

Shug trained Defensive Play for Juddmonte early in that one's US career. He won the Man O'War on turf and Charles Strub on dirt (both Grade 1) for him.

I guess little Riley Tucker's Facebook avatar was correct:

Juddmonte taps Mott as main man

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott will have a stable of approximately 12 horses in Southern California beginning next month, including an undetermined number from Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms. Mott said on Friday that he will decide which horses will be sent to California after Christmas. The stable will be based at Santa Anita.

"We've just got a couple of horses for the stakes and we're trying to get it together," Mott said. "I'll pick up a few of the Juddmonte horses after Christmas."

Juddmonte Farms had horses with the late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel until his death last month. In recent weeks, the California-based Juddmonte runners have started for Frankel's former assistant, Humberto Ascanio. Juddmonte manager Garrett O'Rourke said on Friday that Mott will train the majority of the stable's runners in the United States in 2010, and that Ascanio will train Midships, the multiple stakes winner on turf. Midships, trained by Frankel earlier this year, is expected to return to training in early 2010.

"Bill Mott will be our number-one trainer," said O'Rourke. He added that Juddmonte is "down to a pretty small string already" in the United States.

Boy,what a great trade off for Humberto.

Mott's the Man

What are Motts numbers so far, as far as Juddmonte horses? It has to be pretty bad.

Comic Marvel is the only one I can think of.

Can I find the stats using Formulator? Im going to try to do it now, Comic Marvel... I almost bet her last weekend, a big step up, but how bad did she run?

Here are the stats...The "Prince" knew Frankel was sick and scaled down the operation in the US... Instead of shipping the string back to Europe he hired HoF trainer Mott to wind it down.. Unfortunately the great Juddmonte will no longer be a force in US racing unless Jaime Ness can convince Prince Oil Fields that he is the second coming of the great Frankel.. Sometimes the great formulator needs to yield to common sense.

I think she still has a chance to be a decent filly, but I don't think Bobby would have put her in that race...

Proviso 2nd in the Santa Monica.. Eagle Poise 5th in the Strub.. Dreamt 5th in the Wishing Well.. Turn Away 9th in the Hurricane Bertie..

Sorry, when I said one I meant winner.

Yeah.. I was just adding starters I thought of.

I think Proviso is ok, I might use her tomorrow.
The pick 3 king is making his long awaited return, you should check it out.
