Not trying to be snarky or sour grapes or anything. Just wondering if anyone knew his story. And I'm not trying to sell Samurai Prince short, either. He's winning at all distances and was the fav.
he has some good connections that he buys the horses outright that trainers like Frankel sell to get rid of. Dale Baird who passed last year would buy them in California and bring them in all the time, horses coming from the major tracks should improve here unless just been hurt and never regained any form or class.
