Baffert responds to criticism over Tweebster

[trenchcoatmafia1]

i guess the best thing was Tweebster was not claimed for the tag of $12,500
so Baffert keep him in his barn

[Dahoss]

By no means am I a pretty horsey person and I'm not saying a cheap claimer is any less or more important than a stakes horse.

But, the drop from stakes to 12.5k claimers doesn't seem like a move made out of affection for the horse.
