Gelding TS is bad enough but HOugh also made some errors in training with him and cost the owner at least a grade one and some nice bucks. Then again, given all the high priced horses that seem to not work out for them, they probably can afford it.
And why would anyone pay to breed to Trippi's Storm? HUH?
