Yeah I think we talked about that. She told me she was going to give him all the time he needs. Which should be about 2 months.

HA...yeah right...that poor bastard will be back in the next hard stake she can find --- Oh, speaking of....the Nov. 25 Ky Jockey Club noms are out...lets check the lineup, shall we?

TIZ WONDERFUL, CHANGE UP AMONG RISING STARS NOMINATED TO CLOSING DAY JUVENILE STAKES - Stonestreet Stable's Tiz Wonderful, winner of the Iroquois (GIII), and Richard, Elaine and Bert Klein's Change Up, impressive in defeating fillies in the Pocahontas (GIII), head their respective rosters of nominees for the $200,000-added Kentucky Jockey Club (GII) and $200,000-added Golden Rod (GII), the co-featured races for 2-year-olds on the Nov. 25 racing card that will close out Churchill Downs 21-day Fall Meet.
The two 1 1/16-mile races for 2-year-olds are the featured events on the meet's second "Stars of Tomorrow" program dedicated exclusively to races for 2-year-olds.
The unbeaten Tiz Wonderful is one of the brightest young stars on the list of 29 2-year-olds nominated to the 80th running of the Kentucky Jockey Club. Trained by Scott Blasi, the son of two-time Breeders' Cup Classic (GI) winner Tiznow romped to a 6 ¾-length victory in the one-mile Iroquois. He had rolled to a 12 ½-length victory in his racing debut in a 6 ½-furlong maiden race at Saratoga in early September.
Other notable nominees to the Kentucky Jockey Club include Lucky Seven Stable's U D Ghetto, winner of the Kentucky Cup Juvenile (GIII) and a troubled seventh to Street Sense in the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (GI);

***Gary Logsdon, Donnie Kelly and Jamie Sanders' Teuflesburg, 10th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile***,

but a close second to Scat Daddy in the Sanford (GII) at Saratoga; Claiborne Farm's Passport, winner of the Miller Lite Cradle at River Downs; Patricia Blass' Run Alex Run, third to Circular Quay in the Bashford Manor (GIII) at Churchill Downs; Darley Stable's unbeaten Day Pass, winner of the Nashua (GIII) at Aqueduct for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin; Thomas Van Meter II and Maurice Miller's What a Tale, runner-up in the Iroquois for trainer Patrick Biancone; and Michael and Mary Kindred's Going Ballistic, winner of the Remington Park Magna Entertainment Mile on Oct. 20 for trainer Donnie K. Von Hemel.
The nominees to the Kentucky Jockey Club include impressive recent winners in Minefield, unbeaten in two races for trainer Todd Pletcher and owners Starlight Stable and Donald Lucarelli; William S. Farish and E.J. Hudson, Jr.'s Grasshopper, a sharp maiden winner at the KJC distance for trainer Neil Howard; and Winchell Thoroughbreds, LLC's Zanjero, an allowance winner for Blasi that has won two-of-three career starts.
Change Up leads the roster of 28 2-year-old fillies nominated to the Golden Rod off a career record that includes three wins in five races - including two stakes wins - for trainer Steve Flint. The Kleins' homebred daughter of Distorted Humor also won the Mountaineer Park Juvenile Fillies before she threw in her only poor effort, a seventh-place finish over the slop in the Arlington-Washington Breeders' Cup Futurity (GIII) at Arlington Park in September.
John Velazquez is scheduled to ride Change Up in the Golden Rod.
Other nominees considered likely for the Golden Rod include Mike Rutherford's Cohiba Miss, the winner of the Kentucky Cup Juvenile Fillies who was excluded from the overflow field for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI); Zayat Stables' Baroness Thatcher, sixth in the Pocahontas after being excluded from the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies; Bentley Smith's Lady Joanne, third in the Pocahontas for trainer Carl Nafzger; and Joseph Novogratz' Pro Pink, runner-up to Datrick when she faced males in the Kentucky Breeders' Cup during Kentucky Derby Week at Churchill Downs.
Also nominated to the Golden Rod are three fillies that competed in the Breeders's Cup Juvenile Fillies. That group includes Heiligbrodt Racing Stable's Appealing Zophie, fourth to Dreaming of Anna in the Juvenile Fillies; Bruce Lunsford's Bel Air Beauty, eighth on Breeders' Cup Day; and Sarum Farm's Gatorize, who finished 12th out of 14 fillies in the Breeders' Cup race.

...what a surprise, he's nominated to get crushed again - as is Pro Pink, a filly they have who also has a load of ability but probably won't last long with the campaign they are putting her through.....shame

I'm sort of confused...did she come from the Nick Zito school of training or the D. Wayne Lukas school of training?

She seems to be forcing success instead of doing what's right by the horses....I think she can definately train fine, but she may want to campaign her stock a little lore realistically and let success come to her.
