Shirreffs' latest gem

[ateamstupid]

First it was the insurmountable Rockies, then it was equating Rail Trip to 'the highest mountain,' and now this, his reasoning behind not shipping Zenyatta to the Beldame. It actually has little to do with Zenyatta!

"The only thing that concerns me is if I go to New York, do I go directly to Kentucky?" he said. "And how long do I stay away from the [California] stable? I'm not a good telephone trainer. We have to decide the best decision."

Yes, that's right folks. It's not that he's scared to ship his champion mare, it's no longer the Rockies that are the problem, it's that there's no one who could possibly take care of his other horses for the handful of days he'll be out of town! God dammit, if only Shirreffs were a good 'telephone trainer.' Oh well, just our luck!
