his moron owner said these last couple weeks that they were 'teaching the colt to rate'. now, i don't know if they just managed to slow him down enough so that he wouldn't have a say in the only part of the race he might possibly shine, or if he just wasn't fast enough to keep up with bodemeister.

I think the Trinniberg folks thought that if they went all Tim Ritchey-like and galloped the horse for a couple miles every morning that they could train stamina into him. In that respect, most of the 10f Trinniberg traveled on Saturday was probably great training for the horse.

t'bergs owner and trainer need to look at bodemeisters race. baffert knew better than to mess with the horse, that the derby is no time to play around or try something new or different. he let the horse keep with what the horse does best, and damn near won it all.
trinniberg? not even close. stupid, stupid, stupid.
