The Yankees had a really good year too? I mean they made the playoffs and they even won a game before they got blow away.

It was not like he ran a bunch of 50-1 shots that would be happy to hit the board. With the exception of Friendly Island almost all of his horses did not run up to par on the biggest day in racing. The fav for the filly eclipse breaks down, the 2 favs for turf eclipses go down meekly, the fav for the 2 yo eclipse runs good but probably loses the eclipse because he loses by 7. People are talking about another trainer when talking training eclipse after you dominate all year. How do you get a good day out of that?
