He's the best around at doing it.

He's a wizard at getting horses ready off of workouts.

Blame and Fly Down both benefited equally from preps - and Haynesfield won his Super Bowl and lost his Pro Bowl.

I'm sorry - but I don't buy it. They weren't beating Rinterval and Switch by slight margins with a horse who has an established pattern of running peak performances in the Breeders Cup.

Who is denying Shirreffs isn't good at it? I'm saying he isn't the only one that can do it.

You don't think Blame benefitted from the JCGC? Hilarious.

He benefited enough from it that Fly Down got into some trouble and benefited at least as much or more.

We aren't going to agree on this.
