One day, the Wests should be introduced to Baffert. They'd probably make friends, if they could ever meet.

He could council them and a couple other big owners (maybe Cox and some of the other star trainers could bring in the rest of some of the other same big owners, no doubt suffering mild PTSD), after the shocking and saddening disappointment of that rogue Jason Servis.

"horses age like strawberries" classy and true
"horses' 'juiceability' squeezes like lemons" vulgar and true

max reached his ceiling, and they got every drop out of him. Time to breed or if by some chance there is no market, he needs to check into one of those rehab things and get clean for 6 months and maybe his blood will take to some of the PEDs once again. I can't recall his total record, but at a quick (and perhaps inaccurate mental glance) he's a tweener 9f type who's at his best when he can dominate class and or pace.

pass the salmon and asparagus, and, easy on the lemon wedge please baby, it has to last the whole table.

I never was a die-hard Maximum Security fan and like most others, always felt he was juiced to some degree. With that said, with or without PEDs, Cox would have let his jockey ride the horse in a manner that would give it it's best chance to win. All Baffert did was modify him to more of a stalker than a true front runner. Obviously a tough spot for Bob when he's got two similar running style types with Grade I route ability. Who goes? Who stalks? Maybe it's some kind of mutual agreement with the owners and it will be Max's turn to be the speed of the speed in the Pegasus at GP.
