Losing Delahoussaye had to feel like losing a sore tooth.

He was one of the most brutally bad trainers I've ever seen at Mountaineer. There are two different kinds of 5% trainers at Mountaineer.. the sneaky not-so-bad ones who have a barn full of nothing but hopeless rats and are 20/1 most of the time .. or the Darrel Delahoussaye kind who just suck dog crap through a straw.

I remember another MTR trainer telling me over the summer about how he "loads them up with everything" ... I told him "does the stuff he loads them up with make them want to stop running when they see the 1/4 pole?"

Aren't stalls granted to trainers not owners?

In theory they are. But like everything else in the world, it is who you know....
