It's racing the more horses the better for the bettor and racing. Shame is one trainer has so many good horses

Why? And whos fault is it? Certainly not Bafferts, is he supposed to say no thank you? Cant really blame the owners either, if they are going to put all that $$ into the game, why not pick the GOAT?

Get your lips off of Baffert's rear and reread Freddy's post. Freddy isn't complaining, it is an observation just like Pletcher on the east coast and his good horses. It would be nice to see the wealth spread around instead of a few trainers that's all the post means. No one at fault, it's the business. If I spent millions on horses, I would want the best trainers also, but, there are other trainers that could do great also if given the same stock.

It was a very good move to win the prestigious Harlans Holiday at the expense of this race with Liam's Map.

Funny..When i was grooming Elusive Quality at Churchill for Mott i begged him to ship him out for the Malibu after he beat older in a nw2ot. Instead we went to Gulfstream and he won another alls going 7/8 in 1:20 4/5. King of the Heap won the Malibu. Who?
