Hard to believe Sherman didn't know, seeing as somebody who worked for him was the link between the two trainers. Also sounds like they have it all figured out about how the horse will be trained and Sherman's son going over in May to spearhead things. Doubt all that got arranged without Sherman's knowledge.

It says in that article that he said he didn't know and hard for me to believe he would say he didn't when he did. Given what I have seen and heard from his owners, not hard for me to believe they did all of the planning and didn't tell Sherman til after the race.

Yes Mott did have Lea in the World Cup.

[QUOTE=classhandicapper]1. If Chrome still doesn't want to run between or inside horses, I consider that a failing of some sort on either the horse's part or the trainer's part. It's been long enough to overcome that issue (if there really is one).

As the three were coming down the stretch, 'Chrome in the middle, he looked around him, looked to the right and felt some "anxiety" at the 300-meter mark. I swear he hesitated, which helped him lose the race. If 'Chrome always needs a perfect ride where the others must defer to him in order to win, then he's not much of a "professional" racehorse, right?

And I think Coburn et al were perfectly content for a slice of the huge purse, not going for the win. He basically admitted they mis-trained him, vis a vis the win.

Thats not fair to say. I feel bad for Art. He says he feels like he lost a friend. This horse has made all of his life long career dreams come true. He should and will ride it out until the end.

Art Sherman is an easy man to root for. Just a good guy.

Espinoza won for Ward at Ascot with Hootenanny , so maybe they will consider keeping him .
