actually, he did say that.. sometime in the fall, he was asked what the plans were for declans moon and he said he was aiming him for the malibu, and then maybe the san fernando. it was only 4-5 months ago.

i distinctly remember reading it, as did other people that i discussed it with (one of which who posts here). i always considered ellis a good trainer, but at that moment, i really doubted his mental sharpness.

He did say that but that was in the Fall of 2005, not 2006. I know Ron Ellis very well. I talk to him several times a week. I talk to him about DM all the time. He never talked about the Strub Series for 2006 and 2007. Back in 2005, he was hoping to have DM ready for the Strub Series.

The quote was from 2006......just face the facts..

If you know him well, a word of advice for him....tell him to stay off of TVG...he really comes across as an idiot....that or he should do his homework before going on TV......

Tom Amoss does a great job when they have him on...maybe Ellis should watch some tapes of Amoss and see how its done...

You have to realize that they are different personalities. I know NEITHER of them but Amoss seems brash and from all accounts, is a serious gambler. Amoss doesn't care what he says either. Ellis seems to be the exact opposite.

Those guys are out of their element on TVG. They come from a world where you have to tread lightly with your opinions because potential owners here that and boom, one wrong statement and you lose a client.

I hear ya...but again...if you decide to come on Tv ...which I agree is out of their element...try not to sound like a drooling idiot...

Amoss comes on there and gets his facts straight.....and does tell it like it is...

Find me the quote from 2006. You won't be able to find it because it does not exist. In the quote you posted, Ellis did not mention the Strub, the Strub Series or any races in the series.

As I said, I talk to the guy several times a week. I talk to him about DM all the time. He never mentioned the Strub. He's much smarter than that.

With regard to TVG, as other posters have mentioned, most of these trainers are very careful with what they say on TVG. If I'm hanging out with Ellis at the races, the commentary that he will give me is far different from what he would say on television. On television, these guys assume that there are a lot of novices watching and they will intentionally "dumb-down" their commenets and commentary. Trust me that Ellis is a very bright guy even if you can't tell on TVG.

You're beating a dead horse, Rupert... they've made up their minds and they don't give a shiat what anyone else has to say. Let them be and let their ignorance speak for itself. It never fails to amaze me the hypocrisy that is spewn on the internet. *Sigh*

It's not ignorance.....it's called an opinion...this guy has one...and I have one....and I do listen to what he is saying...I just dont agree....
