I would say those are some pretty good horses. So dont be mad because you lost some money. Dont be mad because his 1/9 shot lost. Many of trainer has sent out a 1/9 and lost. And you have said before that horses arent machines and you have said that trainers are alwasy going to tout their horses in the press. Now Oracle, come up with some concrete data as to why Albertrani sucks. Tell me one horse that he has screwed up--dont give me just one race.

I note you are naming horses he has "been around". Completely unfair. Asst trainers do the majority of gruntwork but don't call the shots as far as training goes. That responsibility lies within the trainer. Mott trained Cigar, not anyone else. He made the calls. The guy who makes the calls is the guy who gets the glory or is the goat. In my opinion Don Zimmer had as much to with the Yankees winning those World series as Torre did. But Torre is the guy who had to make the calls.
