Huh..? Beyond belief.. This is an all-timer, even from you Tim.
First of all, the "trainer' has a name.. It's Michael Trombetta.. And boy, running 2nd in the Preakness was a real embarassment.. And he had such a perfect trip in the Derby that it's a total failure for Saint and Mike that he didn't win. And he, Joe Balsalmo and Ted Theos were pretty pleased winning the Gr. II Illinois Derby.
Maybe you don't realize that Saint is a gelding and won't be retired in December, but he's got a whole career of races to run yet. And by way of news, look for Ramon Dominguez to return to the saddle in Saint's subsequent starts.
Trombetta has plenty of feathers in his cap INCLUDING taking a cast-off Wegielia and making him a stakes winner and track record holder..
