I'm sure there are some places that do that. but it's not the norm. jocks 10% is a done deal.

agreed...but some are going on as if she's God's gift to training and I question it based on her history and circumstances..she will go down as a BC winning trainer and should get good horses because of it

how long has she been a licensed trainer and how many starts has she had?

Who said she's gods gift to training? People are saying she did a good job, nobody is putting her in the hall of fame yet.

read the comments on the original Bloodhorse article and get back to me...you would think Baffert had been taken off of AP after the preakness

Amazing this horse won , so happy for him . The rest , no one knows .

Instructions?

These people are giving instructions to a hall of game jock in a 6 furlong race on a presser/speed horse who has been ridden already multiple times by this same rider?

As Jim Mora, Sr might say

INSTRUCTIONS??

was thinking the same thing

[chadk66]

anybody that thinks they can form an opinion on a trainer after 25 lifetime starts is nuts. She probably had trash in the barn until Happy arrived. She obviously is good enough to win a breeders cup race. Or should I say, good enough to not screw it up. That's all that matters at this point. It's owners like this that really give the industry a black eye.

If she had trash in the barn she needs to hire grooms who won't leave their McDonald's wrappers and empty potato chip bags lying around, no need to have an unkept barn.
