You kinda look like that Ashton guy.

Back to reality now, there was a horse in the 80s in socal named Volanda that ran, I think, second, eight times in a row while still a maiden. She lost to some really nice fillies in that streak, including Reigning Countess (twice?), who later on set a track record at HP. While being trained by the awful Gary Jones.

Yes.

There might have been worse than him, I'll grant you that, but few trainers did so little with so much.

His handling of Apollo was Appolling.
