Steve Haskin Bloodhorse Chat
 

Question and Answer- check out the next-to-last sentence. :)

Minot, ND:
Steve, Forget the Pletcher's of the world.. Pick 3 "lesser known" trainers that are lined up for breakout years in 2008.

Haskin:
I wouldn't include Pletcher anyway, he broke out a long time ago. Hmmm, let's see. How about Larry Jones (although this has been a pretty good breakout year already), Bob Baffert (yes, Baffert with his second breakout year of his career, along with Bill Mott), John Sadler, Craig Dollase, Graham Motion, can Barclay Tagg break out more than he has this year? Rick Violette, Reade Baker, Mark Casse. If someone gave Chuck Simon good horses, you'd see a real breakout year. Same with Jennifer Pedersen.

That's very cool...of course, unfortunately, his breakout year would be met with accusations of the usual BS trainers go through when they start winning.

That is really cool. Didn't Jennifer Pederson chase someone around with a pix axe or something?

I believe it was a pitch fork :eek:

And I agree with Mr.Haskin, but Chuck Simon has SUM good horses :D
