The guy has the right to move his horses and seek out better performance. can't fault him for that. its just that with these horses I don't think the issues are the trainer or the surface. we'll see.

But he’s a talented little horse, and he’ll find something. I don’t think he’s a mile-and-a-quarter horse, but he’s definitely a nice little sprinter.”

Baffert has been bringing Maimonides and J Be K back, and now they end up in Bill Mott or Asmussen's barn? That's not particulary equitable...

Re: Maimonides.. He got a lot of press here last summer when he ran, with a local Maimonides Yeshiva bringing a busload of tatalahs to see him. He is supposed to be as gentle and pleasant as a horse can be and was great with the kids.
The horse is nice with Tatalahs, but his meshuguner owner is fachattered with California. He is moving the horses from the silver haired shaygitz to the 2 other goyisha kups that have better Derby hopes. I guess he'd had it and said gay cocken ofen yam. Now Baffert's left with bupkis. Zayat's not wrong as the track was chazzerai.

Loyzem gayne!!
