To continue along this same line, here was a comment from Chatain's trainer, Angel Penna, Jr. from before the Hal's Hope:
"He's just accident-prone," said Penna. "If he has any one real weakness it's his feet. He's got thin walls and shallow soles, but he's got glue-on shoes now and at the moment he's doing well." Chatain, who finished a troubled fourth behind reigning Horse of the Year Invasor last winter in the Gradeo1 Donn, has won his last two starts. Both were at six furlongs and include a head victory in an overnight stakes at the Meadowlands in his finale as a 4-year-old on Nov. 3. "I'd like to have had another work into him, but at this point, with all we've gone through with him the past two years, when he's ready to run and there's a race for him you've got to run," Penna said.
