![]() Nadal looked great. You’ve got to feel bad for Baffert. Having so many good 3YOs forces him to either run against himself for purses and Derby qualifying points or ship the horses out.

![]() Baffert wasn't in the Top 50 in number of individual starters last year (116). If the argument is that he gets 'all the best horses', as judged by expensive sales prospects, that's a fairly recent development. But he's never had a factory operation.
Trainers with more than 150 individual starters in '19.. Steven M. Asmussen 612 Karl Broberg 544 Mark E. Casse 320 Michael J. Maker 312 Brad H. Cox 311 Robertino Diodoro 310 Chad C. Brown 301 Todd A.

My comment had more to do with the notion that someone feels bad for him for having to run his horses against each other. Maybe it was tongue in cheek but it didn’t appear that way. He has to run his horses against each other because he has so many quality horses. |
