Very interesting. He seems a good and accurate detail observer of horse behavior. His comments match what some of the trainers have said.

Sounds pretty hogwashy to me.

It's very obviously written by someone who knows the horse is a sprinter and has no hope of getting 10F Saturday. His psychology on the horse is moronic.

Like I initially said...We gotta wait till after the race to see how close or how screwy this guy is to how these 20 horses run and play off each other...You gotta admit it's a different little change of pace to read this kinda stuff to take a break of having workout splits and Graded Earnings and Trainer psycho-babbble and Pedigree charts spinning round in your head.
Maybe someone should do a book on Derby Trainer Psychology....what they say vs what they mean.....that'd be a BIG book!

I'm not disputing Trinnibergs inability to get 10f. I'm saying that it's so freaking obvious he is not going to get 10, and this expert just made up a line of crap to explain that in psychological terms. Clearly, and I do mean clearly, that horse has physcial limitations that will prevent him from winning. Using his line of reasoning, Spend A Buck would have had no hope. Had he been doing this in the 80's, I promise you he'd have written up something similar with Groovy, but not Spend A Buck. It's transparent.

I like him on style, but I didn't like how he seemed to get "hung-up" in his last race.

Fair enough...I'm cynical too, but to call the guy a fraud, that's just not right..let's wait and see how the race plays out for cryin out loud and if his writings or ideas are spot on, let him make his $$$...more power to him....you or I don't have to buy or believe his stuff.
I think it's a breath of fresh air, whether it's a new or old idea dont matter to me....I hadnt looked at races this way before so it's new to me...and interesting to me and evidently to others. For those non believers....go to a different church or a different gypsie
