They dont let that nonsense go on in Dubai.
When P T TOO was running(and winning,)this guy was having no problem winning races.Right now he has one 3rd place finish from 14 starts at this meet.Yes,he has cheap horses,but he was winning with those cheap horses(back when P T Too was running.)I'll let him start winning races,before I consider anything live from that barn.Look at Knapp claim horses.They usually don't run anywhere near as well as they just did when he claimed them.The figures drop right away.

Interesting. To be honest, I didnt really follow his other horses while Proud Tower Too was hot to the touch last winter. I know that he has cheap horses and you may say this horse was at one time cheap, but he turned into a world beater. I wouldnt put too much stock in his chep ones, rather like the poster who started this thread, interested in seeing his return, probably targeting the Malibu and a defense of his title.

plenty of trainers who toil away, winning nothing...and then one special horse comes along--and other than that one, they still win with nothing else. having a talented horse doesn't necessarily translate into having a talented trainer.

My point exactly. This horse obviously has major talent. This trainer found a diamond in the rough. 90% of this horse's success is from his talent, not from what this guy is doing in the mornings.
