The owner of Derby contender, on the other hand, especially if he thinks he knows enough to call the the shots, will have to live down his flubs in the media, in the public eye.

$86,000 should go to show anybody who's never been to the Derby that dizang, do prices go up in Louisville during the first weekend of May!

That being said, this is why owners own and trainers train.
