DrugS...any plausible reason he sucks on syn ?

I think it is mainly due to the breeding of the stock he gets.

He has the reputation of a dirt/speed trainer ....the types that Heligrobrodt (sp?) Breed/buy.
How he gets all that speed out of horses that work extremely slow in the mornings is beyond me.

He has a private training facility where they work on speed from the gate down in Texas, all of those workouts are untimed. When they get to the track he tries to get stamina into them.

Yes. Oh wait...my name is not DrugS. But there is a very identifiable explanation. I'll share it with you on 11/8.

Yes. That would be redboarding. I will be at the bank that morning.

I don't know.

The meet he had during Presque Isle's first year was one of the most stunning displays of horses under performing I've ever seen by a trainer at a meet.

Every racing day there was a horse he had in - who had to fall down to lose on paper - and they'd be beaten soundly with absolutely no excuse. 20+ beaten favorites in a row - I think the number was 24 in a row off of the top of my head. He started like 3-for-70 .. which is hard to do when you're a short price almost every race. It was crazy.
