Team Valor is another one of those syndicates that just like to go to the Derby regardless of the condition of the horse.

I saw Dr Greenfield almost "collapse from fright or anxiety" at the 2001 Belmont Stakes.

I was sitting about 20 feet diagonally behind the starting gate almost on the rail for the 2001 Belmont. The sound from the grandstand was deafening....sounded like a coming tornedo...the ground was shaking from the reverberation of 100,000 people screaming and pounding.
Dr. Greenfield was shaking so hard, I though he was going to "die of fright". He had a hard time loading into the gate and never did get off well.
Poor thing was a skinny guy too boot.
Anyone with eyes could see this horse was ill prepared for this race. And the Team Valor syndicate had scores of people running around with stethascopes around necks
