Lopresti on with me again this morning as he's as great a story as there is in racing right now and I can't get enough him on the radio. Was close to quitting the training side of things earlier last year to concentrate with his wife on their young horse breaking business. I met him last year when I wrote that B-H story about Cash Refund and Richard Klein explained what a great job Charlie and Amy do starting yearlings. Successful Dan was always the 'best horse in the barn' for Lopresti, and he worked through a pair of challenging issues with him. He'll go to the Clark and hopefully still has plenty of upside to him for next year.
