Biancone - Oracle

Seriously, you need to call Biacone and tell him to get his head examined. The guy is a great trainer, what is he missing that this Cosmonaut horse excels on the turf?

I only know Patrick to say hi to. hes always been very nice to me. he can be seen up here from April until late October on the Oklahoma track driving around in his famous golf cart while talking on a walkie talkie and cell phone at the same time he chain smokes a carton a day. Hes a hell of a character and a hell of a nice guy.
Carlos martin used to train Cosmonaut and we made a hell of a score bettinghim when he broke his maiden at Saratoga last year. Carlos swore he would win his next start on dirt and said he trained better on the dirt than on the turf. He was eased in that start.
MR Lizza(Flying Zee stable) gave him to Biancone to train over the winter as there was no grass racing in NY. Funny thing happened, Biancone entered him in a grass race at bay Meadows that got rained off and he had already shipped him all the way over there from SA and decided to run him. The result was a stunningly good win.
That track was quite hard that day, and i suspect that the horse is quirky on dirt and only wants to run on certain dirt surfaces.
Patrick is a brilliant guy and has trained a HOY and champions on different continents. He doesn't need advice from me or you, trust me.

I had him that day at Toga also, he was explosive. I think you might be right about the quirkyness, but that track at Bay Meadows that day was sloppy, which some turfers and Lemon Drop Kid's progeny like alot.

Hopefully Martin gets him back for Toga so he can win three in a row, rising in class each time and we get 5/1 each time also....that is the ideal plan
