Baffert is just the man. Hes won more money with moderately bred horses than any trainer I ever saw. And last year he said he had been given "expensive and perfect" yearlings during his "slump" and that they don't run any good. Said he was going back to what worked, picking out athletes and trying to keep them together. He trains em all like horses. Giving him zillion dollar horses is a waste of time and money, just give him rugged athletes and he will still win stakes races regardless of their pedigrees. ANyone who thinks that a horse is great because it costa lot of money is a fool anyway.
