He'd train a Grade 1 level horse, let's say Bernardini because he is on everyone's minds these days, and say before the Breeders' Cup Classic, "I'm scared to death of Ball Four."

You missed the obvious pep talk he would give them!! Remember back in 1990 when the Irish were going to play the undefeated number one team in a bowl and the cameras caught him in a private meeting with the team saying " I promise you!!! They will quit!!!!" They did indeed quit.
Can't you just see him before the race? " I promise you!!!!! When they hit the eigth pole, he will quit!!!!"
