What Moran did with this Email was really bad, and I was shocked by the inappropriateness of it. Those that know the Warrens say they are as generous and gracious a set of owners as exist anywhere in the game. Many in the media got to know them during Saint Liam's run. Using that Email in a blog format and passing it off as a note to the public was intrusive, mean-spirited, and designed to humiliate, and I think Moran will regret having done it. It reflects very poorly on him.

I agree.....








......PP's line was still funny however

I read the letter on a different site early this week, before Moran posted it, so clearly it was "out there" already when Paul put it on his site.
I have no idea how it was leaked to media other than that some media members may have been on Mr Warren's email list. If something like that lands in the inbox of most members of the press, it will go public.

My alternate theory is that someone on the list, feeling sympathetic for his friend (Warren) and hearing the bashing going on early this week may have released it to show Warren's admission of responsibility to DOC's fans etc.

Good insight into an owner.

Is he a trainer?

Why the hell hire a trainer if you got the course
all mapped out? He may be gracious etc... but let him
get his butt a training license and do the work.

Hell let him lose weight and ride the damn horse.

Stick to what you do best, and let the professional
you hired do the job. What is Carroll, just a trainer
that never thinks about horses, just piddles around
while the owners do the training?

No need to hire Carroll or a jockey. Just do it
for yourself.

Hubris squared.

Notre Dame man; oil man. Enough said.
Start thinking about Coal gasification and
stay away from your horse.

I think its rather foolish to send out an email to alot of people and not expect it to no get out, especially something as heart felt as that email.

This does not make the owner look bad at all IMO, he feels like he made a mistake, so what.

If only every owner were as humble as he is

As to the horse, it just shows what pace can do to the outcome.

Denis of Cork's run in the Southwest (Pace 112, Speed 94) was the trip of a lifetime. I'm not going to photoshop pictures with circles, but he sat well of a runoff leader going way, way too fast and just inherited the win when all those in front of him collapsed. He had a perfect scenario and got a whopping mid 90s Beyer.

In the Illinois Derby, he stayed in basically the same spot, but the pace was a slow for those type horses. When the jockey of Golden Spikes took back, it allowed the leader to cruise alone up front and he simply had too much left turning for home and was never going to be caught.

Now, I don't think the track was particularly biased, though speed certainly didn't hurt, but the race was biased due to the pace. Even so, how do you explain him getting beaten rather easily by Atoned?

Sissy.

If you did so for the Southwest and Rebel - the horse you'd focus on with the pictures would have been Sierra Sunset.

Both of them had Sacred Journey running off - but Sierra Sunset was being pestered by sprinter Silver Edition and never allowed to rate - where in the Rebel Sierra Sunset had an excellent tactical position.

While Denis Of Cork rated off that crazy fast pace in the Southwest - he was still in mid-pack - in front of half the field.

To me, it's not so much that DoC had a great trip - his trip was no better than all but three horses in the race - it's that the strong early pace set him up and allowed him to run his "ceiling" final time speed figure.

Where as the slow paced Hawthorne race was like a short sprint - with the top two finishers getting a head-start - and him stuck wide while the winner was on the best footing inside.

Why does it take 150 posts on this forum before we finally get a CORRECT interpretation of the obvious?
