I've never seen someone in the thoroughbred industry take as much heat as she has in past few months. Some of the videos that were posted on Facebook were disgusting.

Was digging through charts. She claimed some horses for Pegasis investment group at GP.

I'm very happy for her. There were some confident predictions here that she would never get work because she went public with her dispute against Mattress Mac, but clearly that was not correct.

I think a lot of it had to do with the way she was treating her horses... If you're on Facebook the videos that her former landlord posted are disgusting.

Can someone enlighten me on how she was able to train a champion, and at the same time not being a Facebook person, receive very negative press? Does she have a bad reputation for some reason?

Does she have a bad reputation for some reason?people will go to great lengths to try to bring people down. social media makes it all the more easier. you can taint most things to appear something that it isn't. Steve Assmussen has suffered very little from his episode

I googled around. I saw the videos. My guess is she was on a very tight budget, and since she was short changed by the RH owner, did not have a lot of money and if the guy paid her and she was not starting out, her fiscal situation would have righted itself. Too bad about the web in a way.

That's quite the stretch. She had all the landlord problems before she started working for Mac. He paid off her judgements so she could get her license back. He then gave her a decent salary and paid for all the horse expenses.

Shr got bad press because she showed immaturity, irresponsibility, poor judgement. Those aren't traits an owner typically wants in their trainer.

True....and Mac has traits a trainer doesn't typically want in an owner---except what's in his back pocket.
I'm sure Baff, Pletcher, etc would take Run Happy on, in a heartbeat--on the condition Mac and his people pay the bills----and stay the hell out of his barn.
We all know THAT will never happen.

Those commercials for Runhappy as a stallion are brutal. The music is horrific. A much better choice would've been "Happy" by the Stones.
