Nothing wrong with being an old hick. I like hicks, actually.

With that said, I've liked Teuflesberg since he ran second to Scat Daddy (I like the Johannesburg's, what can I say?), but let's be realistic here... Jamie's record speaks for itself. She got EXTREMELY lucky finding Teuflesberg for 9k. I have nothing against her as I don't know her personally, but that's just the truth. Sorry if you don't agree.

You resume or job title adds no validity to your opinion and claims. Believe me, your opinions and claims stand on their own . . . very much on their own, LOL.

9k for a Johannesburg out of a decent mare is very cheap indeed. There had to be SOMETHING wrong with him although I can't see what it is. I've never seen him in person, so I can't way whether or not he's crooked. Crooked or not, he seems to be sound. If he wasn't, I doubt he would have handled the number of starts he's had thus yet. He's a gorgeous horse... great looking stride on him. I'd sure love to have him in my barn! (Still think Jamie lucked out with him... it happens sometimes.)

I'd love to have a barn full of them, no question. I give credit to her for picking out a horse like that, snagging him for $9k, bringing him along, etc. However, that is a far stretch from being a "great trainer" and all of the other claims that came along with this. I don't have anything against Jamie Sanders. She's a new, on her own trainer, and I wish her all the best.

However, she is still a 2% trainer, and that more speaks to her current "abilities" and her results than the results of this colt. Let's look at how many others she selected, bought, etc. Let's look at how the rest of those have done. Now, no offense, however, I don't think we have to look too far -- she's won two races all year long.

You have to look at this in the big picture.

Eric

Ok, this is probably a stupid thought, but does anyone else think that Devil's Bag as T-berger's broodmare sire might have something to do with how sound he has stayed? Devil's Bag is the sire of Devil His Due who ran all but one start drug free. From what I understand, Devil His Due was a pretty sound horse as well. I just wonder if that may have something to do with it.

I don't know... Devil's Bag was the first racehorse I ever loved... still have the '84 Flamingo program, only race he ever lost. But he pretty much sucked as a sire, outside of Devil His Due and Twilight Agenda.

His last crop hits the track this year.

i see that Spectacular Bid is on the broodmare side as well. he always did his best work on the mare side of the pedigrees it seems.

I just labored through this thread and your posts. Perhaps someone you work with could fix, give you a new one, or teach you how to use your keyboard.

Your posts would be easier to read, and understand if you would use the shift key at the beginning of your sentences, and break up your thoughts with paragraphs.

Thanks

Notwithstanding her abilities, I have one question...

How is it that with a 2% winning percentage she has any clients?

Let's review your DerbyTrail resume...

1 ) With your first post you tried to coerce members here into buying into a horse partnership ( without obtaining the permission of the proprietor of this board ).

2 ) Your second foray involved exposing a personal agenda against a respected member of this industry.

3 ) Your third involved unsubstantiatable slanders against Hall of Fame trainers


Next thing will probably be claiming to be both a horse owner, breeder, and Wall Street executive.

i'm sure there are many many old hicks from Southern California who have had extensive successful careers working for top trainers and breeding horses who end up moving on to Ny to work as an analyst for a Wall street company.
