I think they just want to boost the win%. Same thing Clement does every summer at Suffolk except Suffolk is like Keeneland compared to Beulah

I guess the overall high win % makes it look good to potential clients down the line. Still seems odd for a guy who has won Gr 1's and big races to run horses at a place like Beulah.

I wonder if guys like Baffert, Mitchell, Mullins or Canani mess with him and congratulate him on stuff like the nice MSW winner at Beulah the other day?

Just saw where Jack Van Berg is sending a string to Thistledowns. Maybe Mullins will be at River Downs .
