Paasch is reminiscent of Brian Mayberry back in the early '90s. Very strong in the summer and fall with juveniles before burning them out well before the New Year.
He was loaded for bear a couple of summers ago, with Prime Ruler, Principle Secret, and She's Included. The filly never started again after the BC and the next time the two colts won it was well over a year between drinks for each...and for claiming tags to boot. Honestly, I don't know if he's won a race of consequence with a horse older than 2 (unless you count Prime Ruler's minor stakes win at Fairplex). Other fizzled out 2yo stars include Hello Lucky, Diplomat Lady, and Kamsack (whom he brought out off a 3 or 4 year layoff to run for $25K).
In that respect, its a small miracle Stardom Bound was able to do anything at all this year.
