Would Baffert/Zayat couple Bodemeister and Paynter?

How'd it work out for you?

DT can be a very amusing place if you come here in the right frame of mind.

Agree with you 100% IC. Somedays after another defeat and a mounting loosing streak i come on this site for a few laughs. sometimes it's more amusing than Comedy Central!

Good grief. So this is what American racing has become. If I'm supposed to get excited about Shackleford then I guess I might as well start watching NBC 24/7. Might as well get used to mediocrity presented at greatness.

I like Romans, but it's a little funny that he's being lauded for running his horses often and the best horse in his barn is getting 60+ days off (and skipping a G2 handicap race) in the middle of the year.

I like him too but I'm not going to kid myself and say Shackleford is a true Classic horse. He's an o.k. horse in one of the worst older divisions in the history of the sport.

...after running in the Met, CD H. & Carter between April 7-May 28. The Suburban is so imperative to his having a complete year? The Whitney and 1 other before BC would be a 7 race season and the Whitney and 2 others, 8.

No. Paynter will likely go to the Jim Dandy.
