Why would Bob Baffert offer Frank Springer (former trainer of WE) one half of his share of the purse money, immediately after the Derby was run and why would Baffert say in the paddock before the race was run that he wagered $500.00 on WE, ......... the first Derby wager he has made since running Real Quiet. He stated at the time "if they just leave my horse alone on the lead, he will win it". This from a Trainer who had WE in his charge for only 3 weeks. The next couple of weeks may provide some answers.

Karl, I thought I read in the NY Times on Sunday that Baffert had told Espinoza to take back and not use up the horse, but the horse had a mind of his own. If that's the case, why would Baffert had said WE would win if alone on the lead. He didn't want the horse on the lead!
