Doctors...two of them...retired with more money than sense and an air of entitlement which leads to meddlesome micromanagement. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

They have gone through alot of trainers over the last decade or so. I hope Ice lands on his feet. He's a good young trainer and he certainly gave up alot to handle Summer Bird as he did all last year. Remember, he went where the colt went and missed the birth of his first child because of it. It shows a dedication to the game and the horse.

I read that Tim Ritchey is getting SB. Honestly, it seems that these owners may be more trouble then they are worth for the "Big Name" guys to bother with. It's not like they have a plethora of fabulously bred young horses every year.
