This guy is all class and is one of the few remaining true horsemen IMO....He told me that Round Pond tied up badly before the Beldame and that was why she got beat 7 lengths....he loved the way she was training at CD with her new glue-on shoes and was ultra-confident about her chances, which I appreciated because it made me use the filly He also gave us the filly in the stakes a few days before too....great man
