Everybody was critical of her after the Derby but this wasn't a tired, over-used horse we saw today...sure the pace was fast, expected to be but he clearly stumbled out of the gate and was shuffled back to dead last and still beat some well respected sprinters easily...if nobody else will say it..."Great job Jamie!"

That doesn't give her an excuse for completely mismanaging this horse. The horse obviously has talent and has found his spot here sprinting but she is lucky that he is like the iron horses of old. Entering this horse in the derby was a complete joke and I understand it's the derby but cmon now im going to continue to be critical of her until she begins to show she understands what kind of horse she has here. After today it should be very very clear to her...

In other words, you don't like her so it doesn't matter what she does, you won't give her credit! This horse had every right to try the Derby...there is only one shot at the Derby and if you have a fit horse (and obviously this one is) why not try? If the horse came back dull you might have a point but this wasn't a dull horse you saw today! Sure, he appears to be an old fashioned iron horse, don't you think she realizes that?

I love this horse...

Congrats to the connections of Teuflesberg.

Getting a win here doesn't change the fact that it was stupid to run him in the Derby. I don't think anyone ever said that they thought he was a tired or overused horse. Just misplaced. In fact, I take the opposite view. I thought he was a fresh horse. He hasn't run in months. He didn't run a step in the Derby and only ran a quarter mile in the Blue Grass.

I never said I wouldn't give her credit for today's win but I will continue to be critical of her due to the spots that she was entering this horse. I guess he did have the right to enter the derby but everyone and their grandmother knew this horse had no chance to be in the top 10 of that race. The horse has had 5 weeks off and as I said has some talent sprinting. But to not question her training ability and style with not only this horse but others as well is ridiculous. She is now 3 for 116 so obviously she has been doing things very very wrong. But to make everyone happy congrats to her for her thrid win. I hope she realizes what kind of horse she is working with now.
