Can't you just see him before the race? " I promise you!!!!! When they hit the eigth pole, he will quit!!!!"

Lets remember a little further back when Holtz coached the New York Football Jets. He tried to give them a pep talk and they laughed him out of the locker room. Holtz had a great stint in the pro's. 3-10. He beat the Buffalo Bills twice (2-12) and the Tampa Bay Bucanneers (0-14). Crazy Lou then found out college was his gig.

So as a trainer, I would not trust him in any Graded Stakes.
