A lot of the time, those are the better individuals for some people to work with. Maybe they just suit him better than class horses. I'm not saying he won't do well. I'm just saying this situation wasn't as productive as it should of been. People on here can keep trying to dance around that all they want, but that's simply an unavoidable fact.
From a performance standpoint you have no substantiation whatsoever. You cite one statistic (I think) from one meet. That's it and that's zero. I am not defending Pat, like I said, don't know him, but let's see the facts here. I've seen a lot of posts, but no facts. I don't have 'em so I am not saying either way. And, there is no way that your position can be proven. It's for Pompa to say not you. Your opinion is just that, an opinion. Pompa wants to step up and say he lost $5m and Pat picked out all the horses -- great, now we have something (this is not true of course).

Plenty of people who know Paul and Pat know about some of the other issues going on -- the history, mindset of each, etc. The performance, of this meet, or last weekend is very simply ancillary. Call it the performance of the last year or 5 years for that matter, and you still have to see the facts. Your opinion is not fact.

In their own way -- both guys are good for the game and I wish them both all the best . . . unless they are racing against me and then I wish them second best. LOL.
