He said it's too early for Rachel since she hasn't had a serious workout yet.

Would not surprise me if she came up with a mysterious injury

All of Favorite Trick's races were VERY restricted when he was beating up on horrendous competition like Dawson's Legacy and Nationalore in moderate time....

All while Skip Away ran 10 Beyers of 115 or more that year - including a 6 length win in the Breeders Cup Classic for one of his three figs of 120 or more that year.

Not to mention the spectacular Silver Charm beat incredibly high quality fields in the Derby and Preakness - and Formal Gold ran 3 of the most amazing races you'll ever see.

I posted this on another board, but the cut to Moss at the point in Jackson's speech where he basically said, "look, can we talk and work a race out," was so telling - Moss was po'ed, no smile, no nothing.

And as classy as he and Sheriffs have always been about this mare, his comments afterwards about them having to beat her "by proxy" were dead classless as well.

That really sucks. Because all year long, before the HOY awards, Jackson praised Z and her team, while Moss and company stuck to their guns. It's not that in general that I"m upset about, since I think the right horse won and everyone else has to deal with it -- it's the fact that a general total class act like Moss turns into a completely different person when he loses to a horse who ran a better campaign. She beats the boys once before the Classic? She wins. She runs on the sloppy CD track and wins? She wins. They have nobody to blame but themselves for this loss -- and his total lack of humility tonight was very surprising to me...totally not what I expected from an otherwise out-of-this-world classy team.

When did he have a moment to show his true colors in 2009? They ran a cupcake campaign and stayed at home. They had complete control of the situation. Last night they didn't.

What was evident last night was that two filthy rich control freaks didn't get their way.

Moss looked and sounded so very bitter. Very small of him, IMHO.
