Here's a blurb on how Maimonides got his name:

I'm not suggesting he isn't a decent guy.. Only that he obviously is a tad impetuous given the Del Mar incident last summer and this knee-jerk reaction. Here's Gomez' Massive Drama thoughts after yesterday:
“I was a little disappointed. We set decent enough fractions. After a half a mile, we quickened. But by the time I got to the top of the stretch, he was already emptied out on me. But he’s a talented little horse, and he’ll find something. I don’t think he’s a mile-and-a-quarter horse, but
he’s definitely a nice little sprinter.”
Baffert has been bringing Maimonides and J Be K back, and now they end up in Bill Mott or Asmussen's barn? That's not particulary equitable...
Re: Maimonides.. He got a lot of press here last summer when he ran, with a local Maimonides Yeshiva bringing a busload of tatalahs to see him. He is supposed to be as gentle and pleasant as a horse can be and was great with the kids.
