Why the hostility, Nicholas? You don't know the man. Is Bill Bellichick the same guy on camera as he is off of it?

The guy's a great trainer, you'll never catch me saying anything different but the whining about Coil's work, the inability to pick a spot for a horse without dancing around it and the "look at me" twitter stuff is just tiresome to me. Some may feel differently and that's fine.

He is a great trainer, and is "right" most of the time when it comes to picking races. I was suprised he kept missing on midnight interlude during the TC - even he was fooled on that one. Should be interesting to watch how this develops but I hope he runs, cause I want Shack to get another shot at him.

As tough as Shack is, I don't think he wants a "shot" at Coil or a few others at 1 1/4 miles.

Well he has said either Coil or Prayer for Relief will go and whoever doesn't will run in the PA Derby. Also said that Coil looks bad over it and Prayer for Relief looks great

I would love just one time to have an owner tell his trainer he wants to run. I am getting sick of trainers having and nominating 3 or 4 horses in a race,then they just run 1.
