Art Sherman

[PhantomOnTour]

Firstly, I apologize for yet another Triple Crown Trail thread, but I feel Sherman deserves one.

Of course the story is California Chrome, but I think Sherman has been lost in this whole shuffle a bit. That is likely due to his low key style.
Handled the loss today with the same attitude as he handled the previous big wins; like a gentleman :ThmbUp:

He simply said to his wife, "not today" as it became evident his colt would not win.
I genuinely feel bad for him tonight - not only has he suffered a tough defeat with immortality on the line, he has also suffered the insufferable ownership of Coburn, who doesn't seem like a guy who's easy to be around.

Good guy, Art Sherman, keep your chin up.
I know you will do right by this colt in the future (if the owners will let you).

He and his boys are big players in California, north and south. Good horsemen.

I hope they get a few more nice horses coming their way from all this

He had some nice horses , he sort of blew it for me with Lang Field ,
gotta be honest .

The reality check came yesterday but all in all Sherman handled the
sudden success with grace and I did admire that . Very nice job with CC
and hopefully they will do well still in the future . It remains to be seen .

Guess it was Chrome that's helping me get over my grudge LOL.

Glad you started an Art Sherman Thread P.O.T.

He is a class act and I am hoping we see him again soon with another Horse that does him proud.

Sherman has been a class act throughout the entire Triple Crown run. It's a shame that he has to deal with that narcissist Coburn.
