Whoever was training him at the time we found out the horse was special and had potential.

Charlie Whittingham.

If he is still unavailable, I'd go with Jack Van Berg.

So was Lukas.

Van Berg is 1-for-82 this year -- and he hasn't won at 10% or better since 1998.

He's living in the past.

Van Berg has a graded stakes losing streak that would make Lukas blush.

I hate to say it, but he's not much of a commentator either.

Tom Amoss is by far the best commentator of the trainers I've watched. Van Berg is pretty bad.
