I thought this pair could add intrigue to the Cup and am sorry to see that they won't come, especially the filly...

As for Jim Toner Joel... WTF? Are you kidding? That's who you belittle? You couldn't pick a guy in NY more widely respected for his horsemanship and well liked for his character. His record is impeccable and his career is filled with enviable successes. He's as "small time" as he chooses to be basically training for the Phillips' only..

I had not heard anything on Bernardini and I still haven't, so when I saw btw blast me again in negative fashion it made me believe that he was tired of me talking about the 'big boys' again....he has been very vocal about thinking I give Coolmore and Darley too much praise, but hey, they have all of the good horses and I'm just presenting news...I can't help who owns the good ones...

It is clear that I'm bashed for supporting teh people who ultimately supoport this game in the biggest financial way be people in this forum who like the 'little guy' - and so I had to point out why the little guy doesn't make the news as often and give an example that would ht home to BTW...

I'm sure Toner is a great guy and he did good things with Wonder Again, etc....but I was pointing out that the big dogs (like Pletcher) are the ones that eat the most in this game and they make the news and if people don't like seeing Goliath win - I can't help that....

I still have yet to see anywhere on the wire where Bernardini has retired.....
