He's the racing manager for Southern Equine Racing Stable. They campaign the good one's Salute The Sarge and Signature Move.
He also worked this past weekend as a freelance analyst for TVG.

That doesn't explain his equally horrendous race the start before however.
His career top Beyer was an 80 - and it came in a 4 horse field...Salute The Sarge doesn't deserve being grouped in with him. He actually is a real good horse.

yeah, signature move showed some promise, but i don't think he's nearly as talented as many of the others.

I get the impression that they were pushing Signature Move, having already made up their minds that he would be their derby horse. Instead of doing as Carl Nafzger would say "we'll let the horse tell us when he's ready".
it just looked to me like he didn't belong and wasn't ready for the Santa Anita derby.

Pender is a Los Al trainer for christ sake, and if I am not mistaken, he barely wins there. Polonius is going to be a good turf horse, hopefully they realize this and just get him back on the turf.

Southern Equine is owned by a guy from down this way in Lafayette,Louisiana. He has serious money and loves racing. And they are buying some very quality stock, so I wouldnt be surprised to see them in some big races for the next several years. As far as Sig. Move, he bled in the Risen Star, but I had not seen where they say he bled in the S.A. Derby also. I really liked the horse and hope he steps it up later in the year. They are really good connections and it would be great to see them with some really nice horses.

I used to love when Nick Hines gave his pre-race opinions. Automatic toss out. If they make Bronx Tale II they should have him play Eddie Mush. Won't have to do any acting at all . For a guy who is a "trainer" he really had a horrible opinion. Add that to the fact that he is a loud blathering idiot. He wont be missed.

I believe they also own the dam of Rags and Jazil.

Maybe the shipping to Louisiana had nothing to do with him developing a lung infection and like DrugS suggested maybe he sucks and would have gotten exposed in the Robert Lewis, too, but I wonder if the horse would still at the very least be a peripheral player on the Derby Trail if he had stayed in CA. I suppose will have to wait several months now to see if the horse can validate his early promise. Guys like Bruce Headley and Dick Mandella take a lot of flack on these boards for not shipping their horses back East, but its easy to take a horse's general health for granted when cross-country transportion has become so easy to coordinate.
