I don't think he went there. I think that shitbox was sold and then taken to Russia.

He's in Dubai now.

Give McPeak a little credit. He took Hard Buck all the way to Ascot for the King George and Queen Elizabeth and came back with the purse for second place.

chuck you obviously dont care for mcpeek with this post. what is the back story? i know most think he is a touch arrogant (but so is pletcher, baffert, and frankel), but he seems to be a solid top notch trainer. i figured u Ky trainers would stick together.

It was quite a prep for a filly prepping for the Epsom Oaks wasn't it?

no question that she ran poorly and Im sure they were dissapointed. I played against her and it helped me with a nice exacta. However,as a partner in DT; we have had our share of ups and downs as well.

was just curious b/c i was sensing some bad blood that's all.

Her being pointed to the Epsom Oaks is like Sumwonlovesyou being pointed to the Spinster. Make of that what you will.

This was obviously an educational effort with Dream Empress.

McPeek surely doesn't want her peaking until June.

Wasn't that several years ago ? It did not happen but as I recall he had a 3 yr old that he was considering sending to Dubai for their big day of racing and then back to Ky for the Derby . Using Dubai as a derby prep .
