Were the hell do you get defence of Frankel from?? This is about all trainers who dodge or duck from each other. You honestly think these guy's are the only ones? WoW

Even the Alabama, while entertaining, was a staggerfest which Rags to Riches would have won 75% ready. But instead we are going to have her win a procession at Belmont in fron of an enthuistiac crowd of 4827. It is easy to say that you should spot the horses in the weakest spots possible but you can also say that these guys have no imagination or for the lack of a better word, balls.

I can agree with that, and now he is faced with owners facing off, going for a single spot. With Rags, he missed her training schedule. Could he push her up to the Travers, sure he could have. Does that move make sence?

If you think that, so be it. I could care less what his methods are. The road to the roses is full of Duckers and Dodgers trying to find the correct path to be amoung the top money makers. It is part of the Game. It is more important to get Bold Type, then to run out of the money. So what ever angle these trainers take to place their owners in a better spot, and get a better result is Ok with me.

I don't want those grapes anyway. They're probably SOUR.

Last time I looked you were a little under $6,000,000 in earnings this year

Are you a trainer King Glorious?

I'm sure he'd be very impressed to know you are on here insulting his fellow trainers for him.

There is something VERY familiar about your style sir.
But the key is that your BOYfriend couldn't possibly be the best in the game, because the best in the game isn't even a boy. Jamie Sanders is a woman.

I would say that's an insult to Chuck. Who is the bf anyway. I'm sure we could all way in with responses

I'd like to see a statistic of earnings divided by the purchase value of all the horses in the barn. Would be interesting to see where her "boyfriend" fits in that statistic.

I could be wrong of course, but "Rags" sounds a lot like one of our old pals to me.
And if I am right he doesn't live in San Diego, and he certainly isn't a woman.
