Did that horse end up being anything at all, or just an expensive bust.

I know Richard Mandella got alot of the horses that were with Ellis after the transfer.... can't recall a Baffert horse that did anything remarkable from Hughes.

The guy (B. Wayne ) is old.. so you figure he is trying to beat the reaper to the wire at Churchill Downs...but its nice to see Ellis isn't ready to sell a piece of his soul to help him get there.

It was that horse Sky Diving. He didn't turn out to be anything great. He actually did run 2nd in a $600,000 race at Sunland Park though.

They broke up their relationship because of that horse calledI Sky Diving?He had some talent,but little heart.I saw that Hughes guy with a woman that could have been his grandaughter.....pretty funny,actually.

He ran and won recently at Turfway. A little re-grouping may help with this horse.

Do you know which trainer has Winning Aptitude who Hughes bought at FTJUL? I believe he also bought the sale topper at that sale as well, now named Crown of Splendor I believe.

I would assume that Richard Mandella has both of them.
