There must be a reason that he was never elected to the Hall of Fame.
There must be a reason nobody gave him a top-flight horse to train.
He did get a special Eclipse Award in 2005; no clue why.
Baird led the country in wins by owner 17 different years.
I wonder how many years he led the country in thoroughbred racehorses sold to slaughterhouses?

God forbid
that Dale Baird should ever get into the Hall of Fame...not just because of his lack of compassion, but his record as a trainer (thank you Tom) is not deserving.
