My words are of no disrespect at all to the jackson's. Class people, class horses and great for the game. I think tagg can make decisions that are highly questionable at times. Doesn't mean he is not a very good trainer, he is, but his management of his horses and explanations behind some of his decisions can be curious at times. As far as IEAH, I think you are right they are excellent and have treated me better than I ever could have imagined since I have been involved. The best part is there is never any pressure to buy, they will just talk horses unless you want to buy

I am just giving you a hard time. Kip Deville is a really nice horse, but the race played out exactly as expected. Showing Up consistently makes a big move, on dirt or turf and just blows by horses.

Kip Deville was a wise investment, but I shouldn't be surprised because they seem to make good decisions.


As for the Jacksons, they are class people. Showing Up though is really all Tagg. He bought him and makes all the calls. Barbaro was one of theirs. Tagg doesn't ever make bad decisions. He just had some pushy owners with one horse and they liked to play trainer. Tagg has a bunch of Lael horses and he does a great job with all of them.

Exactly. I hope KD wins, makes Showing Up look better. I doubt they ever meet again though. KD will probably target the BC Mile, if he goes BC. He has zero chance at the 12F Turf. Showing Up might not even have a chance in the BC Turf. The older horses and the Europeans are excellent. The would reel KD in and beat him by 30.

agree, but they dont need to win the 1.5m race. A wim in any big g.1 race would be huge
