Hatchett also trained a nice Calder maiden winner in 2002.
Midas Eyes broke his maiden by 8 going 5.5f at Calder for Hatchett - got an 84 Beyer.
The Bobby Frankel/Ed Gann machine bought him right after that race.
He won The Swale by almost 10 lengths in 1:21 flat his next start. 110 Beyer and crushed Posse and Whywhywhy.
Midas Eyes only managed a single Grade 1 stakes win for Frankel though ... when you get one that can run an 84 Beyer for Hatchett - and you go to the Frankel machine - big letdown of a purchase.
