I know Shug, and his 10% this year, with nothing but blue bloods is amazing. Hasd any single trainer burned more betting monet than Shug?

Actually his percentage is 13%. Below par for him, I admit it, but it's getting better. I guess that record compiled in under 100 starts, eclipses a virtually unparalleled lifetime of acheivement.

You gotta stop. Seriously.

he also took a filly who had screws in her leg and kept her undefeated over a 3 year campaign in which:
she won at Aqueduct, belmont, CD, Monmouth, and saratoga
she won in the slop and on dry tracks
she beat the boys in a grade one
she won going 7f, one mile, one mile and 70 yards, one mile and an eigth, and one mile and a quarter
she never lost, ever

The finest training job on a single horse in our lifetimes and one that is unlikely to ever be surpassed. Give me some of that underachievment anyday.

Yeah it was an amazing training job 2 decades ago. Emphasis on the 2 decades ago part.

Why should he stop? The guy's a clairvoyant (knows what Baffert is thinking at all times), a genius (proclaimed TMB a bad bet days after the race) and no doubt, if hard pressed, can, with little effort, pull an entire room of furniture out of his ass.

Sweetness is my newest hero.

Just wanted to apologize for taking it to the nasty level on what was a good forum. As I said Oracle and I have a history, and I'm not the guys biggest fan, but I shouldn't have gone there. I have asked Steve to remove me, for sanity purposes, and may return at some point under a different name. Good Luck all.

Mike I had no agenda here, and you have done your fair share of threats and all of the other stuff. This is far and away the finest horse racing site on the net, and besides being involved in it, love dishing about it. I just can't stand you spewing your BS all around it, and not open my mouth. I watched you personally attack Joel, which I guess people forget, but I guess it's like the saying says people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Just don't try and act like you are an angel, because check the threads, you are usually the first person to get nasty, and I guess since I know what kind of a guy you are I can't stand it.

Default Call it on account of darkness..

OK.. over.. I think everyone's calmed down and appropriate gestures are made...

I cleaned this really good trainer discussion up.. Let's move on.. Nothing to see here folks..

Do me a favor, you are a coward and liar to attempt to use my first name as if I have any idea who you are whatsoever. I think you are just another loon hiding behind a keyboard. At least Joel and most others don't go to great pains to hide who they are.
How can anyone believe a word you say? take care and seeya. I gave you my address feel free to stop by anytime and show me how tough you are, I wont hold my breath waiting though.
