Yes, your horse can get hurt in any race at any time. But, the BCJ is harder on the two year olds than any other two year old race in the country. It is a simple fact that I don't see why anyone would argue because the figures are there.

No, I wouldn't abolish the BCJ (I actually like the race), but if I had a really, really promising two year old who looked like there was a ton of room for improvement and could get the classic distances, I would be damned if I would run my horse in that race because I know what it does to a lot of them.

And I can give you a ton of examples of horses that were injured in the race, retired, had problems throughout the rest of their careers because of that race, or were just never good again because of both mental and physical reasons specifically from running in that race. It is the two year old equivalent to the Derby, although the Derby carries much, much more weight. Both races ruin a ton of horses.

I believe that Tagg is the best trainer in the country with the quality of stock that he gets into his stable, and I believe that he makes very good decisions with his horses. I'll trust his judgment again.

The guys that know Tagg say he is great at buying horses and great with turf horses, but he can be a little shaky on placing his horses and the timing of some of his works with his horses.

It sounds like Showing Up is definitely not going to the Breeders Cup. The owners did not have a preference and left it to Tagg.

I think that he is one of the best. Each trainer has their strenghts and their weaknesses. For example, I think that Todd Pletcher is excellent at spotting his horses.

Why don't you like Tagg?

As far as Tagg/Smullen, No comment...............

He speaks like one of the most professional people you will meet in any walk of life or any field of business that you ever spoke to.

get over yourself you big baby, besides you big dummy stats are factual information that can be accessed by anyone with half a brain, the mere fact you used the word plagarized to describe your displeasure speaks on how big your ego is and is a testament to how much of an ******* you can be.
