I was joking with that, but you know Frankel, Sheriffs and McLaughlin would have chosen the soft spot. In the current day company he is in, Jackson and Assmussen are more sportsmanlike.
It's all personal opinion on what is sporty. Lukas has run a lot of horses in places others wouldn't dream of and some see that as a good thing and others as poor management.
