So a trainer whose horses love the front end is winning at a 33% clip on a track that has been rewarding the front end for years. What is remarkable is that he doesn't enter his stock in every Dirt stake run at Monmouth.

Not sure the purses and geographical location serve his interests. Put 1 million up and he has a very sincere interest apparently.

While Baffert has had success in the Haskell, he has not had the same type of success in the Travers where his only winner is Point Given.

1 for 4. Won with Point Given in 2001. Roman Ruler, Coil and Liaison all lost.

I agree with this, that trip was great for a lot of reasons, will definitely bet against him down the road if he is bet like Untapable was.

They all figured to lose though.

How? Liaison, yes. I think Roman Ruler was like 9-5 with Bailey off of a Haskell win.
Coil had to have been pretty sure also. He won the Haskell in his previous start.

Roman ruler and coil were both very overrated and got exposed
