It is just that he was a trainer so long in KY and never even did that well at CD or KEE. He relocates to Delaware and he simply cant lose. I understand that he has much better horses now but I cant ever remember an example of a trainer that trained at a lower level track with modest success that rose so quickly to after so long. Hey, he has a damn clean record but it is as hard to understand his rapid ascension as it was to comprehend that Brady Andeson once hit 50 HR's in a year.

Come on, Chuck, with these short fences and pitching what it is today, I'd think you could knock out 45 taters in a season.

just saw this bit from larry jones in an article linked on equidaily:


"The reason we've felt we're running so good is other horses are coming off steroids," Jones said. "This winning is going to stop, because as soon as their horses start compensating, they're going to come back strong. But we're hitting them right now where their horses are on a down period."

We have one of Brady's HR bats from that season in my sons room...talk about guilt without conviction. The guy won't even say he hit 50 anymore
