So I'm just trying to figure out what the Baffert's (yes both of them) problem is here. It's not like they haven't been the recipient of horses via private purchase .
Maybe there is more than meets the eye here, and if someone with more info could fill us in it'd be most appreciated. Because from here, it looks like sour grapes.

Greed. Virtually all the big stables are greedy. The funny thing is the idiots that run tracks not only buy into it but pass rules like limiting 2 yo sprints to 8 that help those with the monopoly further capitalize on their greed.
There are plenty of good trainers that would kill to get one top stakes horse let alone virtually every good older horse on the West Coast and a new crop of 100 well bred 2 yo's every year.
