Default Mettee Replaces Motion as Team Valor Trainer

Motion will continue to train Animal Kingdom.

Quote:
Irwin continued, "Graham Motion trained Team Valor's horses privately from our barn at Fair Hill Training Center as an accommodation to us. But he made it clear that he would continue to train for other owners. We understood this and accepted his conditions.

"However, due to the unique type of operation we run with partnership-owned horses, we feel at this time it would serve our needs better to have one trainer that was exclusive to our stable. Graham agrees. He has offered to continue to train our horses through the month of April until our new trainer has set up his operation."

Graham Motion may have had the best week any trainer in horseracing history has ever had. Winning a $10 million dollar race AND getting rid of TV in the same week? Hard to top that.
