I am just giving you a hard time. Kip Deville is a really nice horse, but the race played out exactly as expected. Showing Up consistently makes a big move, on dirt or turf and just blows by horses.

Kip Deville was a wise investment, but I shouldn't be surprised because they seem to make good decisions.


As for the Jacksons, they are class people. Showing Up though is really all Tagg. He bought him and makes all the calls. Barbaro was one of theirs. Tagg doesn't ever make bad decisions. He just had some pushy owners with one horse and they liked to play trainer. Tagg has a bunch of Lael horses and he does a great job with all of them.
