Pretty shitty comparison.
One guy is a living legend. The other is some piece of trash who has one good horse and made a fool out of himself on national tv.

The piece of trash might be a bit harsh, but I was watching some old WWF Rock promos on youtube......

Does bafferts stature make him any less of a baby in this circumstance?

I thought he was speaking the truth. An impossible horse went after him, like other people in this thread said the pace was very fast. I think GOD was primed for a big race yesterday, a bounce back effort and Bob knew it. He was upset, can you blame him??

Go back and look at previous races from the Argentinian horse. Always runs the same race fast up front. Baffert should have not been surprised.

Baffert was probably listening to the DRF reporters who kept writing that there was no speed in the race to challenge him.

Maybe Baffert said these things in a matter of fact way and people are taking it out of context.

Yes, it sucks to have a speed horse get taken out in a speed duel, but that's how it is, sort of thing.

I think it's also nice there is no breeding shed for Shared Belief to head to quickly. They can run this guy for as long as they wish.
