solid trainer...and a bit crazed for doing this!! which is a good thing!! since he trains the only horse I have, I'll go with chuck too.

Bonus points for the elder Jerkens today. He has Miss Shop face the FM Turf favorite in her comeback last week and then wheels her back this week to take on the defending Distaff winner.

I do not like Miss Shop at all in that race.

Yeah, but at least someone is filling these stakes races.

D. Wayne Lukas is still the guy I'd go with.

Do you want your horse to be broken down? I'd rather have Candlin.

Lukas is not the only trainer that's ever had a horse break down. And even though he's had a bunch, he's also had a bunch of horses that have been successful as 3yo's. If I'm looking for 3yo success, Lukas is my guy. He pushes hard and those that make it, u have a good chance of doing well. If they can't survive the training, they don't deserve the success anyway. If I'm looking for older, probably Ron McAnally is my guy.

I'll just act like you didn't mean that and forget it. B/c that's very cold.

Miss Shop paid more to show than to place so she was way worse than 2-5 in the show pool.

Well I'd want a guy where my horse isn't an aftertohught amongst the other 400 million dollar babies in the string. So that eliminates all the big names-

I'd also like to put a good trainer that's never had that "BIG" horse on the map: So for me I'd go with Jamie Ness who trains at Canterbury and at Tampa in the winter. He trains at a high percentage at both places, and could hold his own with any of the big-tymers if he had a string of horses of the same calibur.

But!If you put a gun to my head to pick a big name if I had soem Million $$$ babies: I'd pick Andre Fabre. I'd love to see what he could do with an American string of horse, and see what he could do with the dirt hories. Or maybe Biancone.
