Now the ultimate, he says in tomorrow's DRf that Fleet Indian's resume outshines Round Pond's on the year and that Bernadini deserves the title of 3 year old champ over Barbaro.
Now thats class, pure class. This guy is like the best representative alive for our sport, above all others. What a fantastic gentleman and trainer he is.

And someone I know had the stones to say he's [paraphrase] "not a good trainer and he was lucky to win the Derby" and "it's his fault for Barbaro's breakdown, i told you this would happen".
I personally think he's among the tops in the game and this year has obviously proved it.
