When you deal with owners like Calabrese you are dealing with some huge egos, guys who arent used to being told how things should be done. Not that Leving doesnt have an ego, but he also has a clue.
Right and my point is that from following CHI racing, I can't believe that Calabrese is a TOTAL tool, or he'd be pushing his local horses above their head, which is not the case. Doesn't mean that once THE horse comes along that he might get a little bit ahead of himself -- but I doubt they are going to force her there if she doesn't show well this Spring.
