Steve, have a heart. Cheating happens. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. That normally happens after you hit rock bottom, like when your wife forgets to buy the Baileys Irish Cream for your morning coffee and you berate her for an hour(not that I have ever done that) or when some ridiculous horse freaks not just wins but runs extraordinary.

30 BSF points in 10 weeks. I guess the dopes that trained him previously just didn't have the horsemanship to unlock his scary talent.

I’m not saying it was something undetectable but he was about as impossible a horse going in as I have ever seen. 15 years ago he would’ve been 200-1. Even Aragona had him 50-1 ML and he rarely does that.

Worth noting who the owner is. Never heard of the trainer but the owner doesn’t exactly use hay and oats guys in Canada.

All in all I think the course was the reason he won. But that was some kind of move up for a horse who struggled in claiming races not too long ago.

Just pathetic. You're insulting a career horseman who just enjoyed the biggest win of his life. This is a low profile guy born into the game and has worked for Schickedanz forever.

Yep, and it's great to see Tom Morley finally applying all of those skills he acquired toiling in the Godolphin education system. Great to see folks rewarded. Another feel-good story, that barn has been really coming together nicely of late.
While I can be two sheets into the wind regularly, that sheet story really told the tale of that tail
