In a year end champion trainer discussion...once those facts have been stated...to ask if he had a great year with turf horses, synthetic horses, and hurdle horses ... is to ask 'Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?'

DrugS I think at this stage in his life it seems Sheppard does things the way HE wants. I am sure he could have 2 year olds sharp as a tack and bustin thru the gates in March IF he wanted. I never saw him run but I am told Storm Cat was a beast. As for him being Trainer of the year uhm NO. Doesnt mean he isnt a better trainer then the guy who should win this year.
