Heh. I think Rose would have agreed with you as I remember his interview after the Belmont where he was just beating himself up for the Derby.

Sinister Minister was a bum - up until the one time he got loose at Kee.

If you want to compare The Factor to a Baffert that didn't pan out - you'd do it with Straight Man.

I made a nice score on him also. But I'm not going to hype every horse Baffert trains because of it.

He doesn't hype Baffert horses for that reason.

He paid $19.40. I'm guessing he had more than $2 on him.

As I mentioned originally, I wasn't compare the two in talent at all. But just like Sinister Minister, Baffert can't harness The Factor. Not that he can't be successful but for the Classic distance it's very doubtful.

I won't discuss the details for fear of more red board accusations.
