LOL!! Same number as Allen Jerkens, Richard mandella, etc.
But if you wanna take any bets about how many he ends up winning in his life, I'd say the over under will be 15. Hes 38 years old. Most guys dont win one until at least their 40's. Frankel won his only TC race in his 60's, Whittingham in his 70's, Woody Stephens in his 50's, Lukas in his 50's. Baffert and Zito in their 40's.

the guy is 38 and his hair is totally gray, does he dye his hair, is he that vain, why would he want to look like he is 55.

And which one of those horses was favored or was expected to win one of those races? Zero. Tomorrow will mark the first time he sends one(actuallly two) with a legitimate chance to win one.

So he sent out 49 mules? Thats hard to believe. What difference does it make if they were favored or not?

Well I guess it doesnt. But its not like he failed to get one who really had a shot to win.
I know Tim, Allen Jerkens and Mandella are also complete failures whose remarks should be scoffed at, they like Pletcher are bums for never winning a Tri Crown race. Isn't that kind of silly?

Could be a moot point after tomorrow. I say he wins 10 before it is done.

I say 15. Hes only 38. I'd say one every other year for 30 years is completely attainable by him. Lukas won his first in his 50's.

1 every other year? What is he Tiger Woods. He will be competing with his younger talent for years so i am going to say 8-10.

Of course the guy wins 15, probably more. Hes only 38 and hes already had 49 chances, of which none have gotten it done. By the time he hits 50 he will probably have sent out over 100 horses. By the time hes 60, maybe 200 horses. Strength in numbers.

I dont recall saying he was a failure. Show me where I said that?
