The fact that the guy has bought questionable stallion prospect for way more than market value actually makes no difference. The whole point that I am trying to bring up is that when the same few barns get all the good babies and take the established stars too, it makes for an unhealthy sport.

Ok Cannon Shell tell you what.
You meet me back here after he runs a few times for Todd and lets see if hes still rank.
People can make all the comments and innuendo they want about Todd having some secret edge, and moving up horses. But do you wanna make a little bet that the horse isn't rank next time?
Todd is a fine horseman(as are many other trainers, hes not the only one) and I think its a disgrace that the trainer/jockey combo couldnt get this horse to settle after having had all this time to try and correct it.
Its not just "some little thing", his rankness can be the difference between 1st place and 2nd or 3rd or off the board in a lotta future races. How much do you take before you make a move to try and find a guy who can get him to relax.
You're acting like this is a shock. hes had MONTHS to try and get him to settle, he can't do it. Time to find someone who can or might.
Ok, I'm a bad guy then, I agree with the owner 100% and would do the same thing.
