I thought they deserved applause for even trying, no matter where Beholder finished.

They could have taken the easy money and beat up on females again.

@ tophatmert:
I'm glad you brought him up.
He really is one of the greatest trainers of all time.
Hay,Oats and Water.......nothing more is needed for this true horseman.
You won't see Richard Mandella hanging out at the 24 hour drive through pharmacy.
I wonder if his quiet way of doing business doesn't get him lost in the shuffle every now and again.
Quite a Graded Stakes resume: :eek:

It says his career earnings are 128 million + , does that mean he earned roughly 12 million?

I do applaud the great job he's done with Beholder!

And won this race with his other entry.

I think it's also nice that you acknowledged him. He's one of my favorites.
