So I'm just trying to figure out what the Baffert's (yes both of them) problem is here. It's not like they haven't been the recipient of horses via private purchase .

Maybe there is more than meets the eye here, and if someone with more info could fill us in it'd be most appreciated. Because from here, it looks like sour grapes.

Greed. Virtually all the big stables are greedy. The funny thing is the idiots that run tracks not only buy into it but pass rules like limiting 2 yo sprints to 8 that help those with the monopoly further capitalize on their greed.

There are plenty of good trainers that would kill to get one top stakes horse let alone virtually every good older horse on the West Coast and a new crop of 100 well bred 2 yo's every year.

Im actually going to try to be serious here. Is it Bafferts fault that he has all the good horses? He has the horses based on past success, right?

Is it Bafferts fault? No it isnt his fault but obviously his wife feels HIS interests supercede the former owner of Richard's Kid. The thing that you and shockingly many owners dont seem to get is that these guys interests are considered ahead of the owners which is the cart pulling the horse and is what has allowed these 5 race schedules to come to pass.

Dont cry when someone does to you what you have done to so many others. It isn;t like Baffert planned the mating and raised Richards Kid from birth. His people bought the horse as a ready made horse from someone else.

I actually dont think this has anything to do with BOB, and more his wife being a spoiled big mouth who feels entitled. Yes shes hot, but thats not the point.

She was a TV news reporter used to reading things someone else wrote. Would guess she was just repeating what she heard. Stop defending Baffert, he of all people doesnt give a damn what we think and doesnt need you defending him. As a matter of fact he might appreciate if you no longer spoke of him TRO style.
