Tagg is sort of silly in that every horse he has he says " he/she wants to go long "...other than that I think he's as good a trainer as there is. Honestly, I don't care what anyone says, the job he did with Funny Cide was masterful. His personality prevented him from being hailed as a training genius.

I heard, from a reliable source unlike the board liars that formerly posted here, that Showing Up won't return to the dirt because of soundness issues. Makes sense especially in light of what happened at Hollywood.

Mike- Paradise Creek's only really bad race was when Terry threw down 2 grand to win on him. I was there that day. It wasnt pretty. The veins in his head were popping and he was sweating like a marathoner. He then asked me to borrow a grand for the next race.

I think Terry and Seattleallstar are related somehow. Two biggest mushes I ever saw, they posessed magical qualitites. Either one of them could stop a train dead in its tracks with a wager.
Mott should have been quoted after that race as saying "Well he trained good and looked good coming into the race and he had a good trip but Terry The Jinx made a big wager on him and it was just too much to overcome. We'll regroup and just do our best and hope Terry doesn't bet him next time out."
