Apparently all they look for is the ability to defeat Jazil and Keyed Entry going 9f in the slop. As far as I can remember, that is the only noteworthy (using the loosest possible definition of that word) thing he ever did.

Every stallion needs a first and second at Lone Star Park as a 4 year old on their resume too.

True. And in his defense, those were both graded stakes races, and the horse that beat him down there (Silent Pleasure) has been having a very nice year.
B&J was a decent racehorse with a strong pedigree, but if I owned a nice filly I sure wouldn't be in a big rush to get her to him.

Honestly I was never a big fan, but at least it gave hope of another stakes horse being on the scene. He must have had a lot of problems because he would be working like a machine and then disappear for a month or two and then start working again.

Never doing anything noteworthy, obviously, topping the list.

Sounds like 75% of all Baffert horses.

LOL, true. He is very accomplished compared to the rest of the horses Baffert ran in the Derby that year. You see Sinister Minister in the entries often enough, but has he won? Has Point Determined worked this year?

at least they tried to race him at 4....and he did more than this one
