One of my great disappointments as a fan is not having had the chance to see what Wolfson could have done with horses like Theatrical and Cigar. He could have straightened out the mistakes that Mott was making and really made them special.

He surely would have had Cigar running on dirt.
He could have won the Jackie Wackie, my personal fav Stake, like 5 straight years.

Let's not forget the wonders that Wolfson has performed with Slewfoundmoney, another Live Oak horse who couldn't get out of her own way with Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott.

Makes you wonder why Ms. Weber doesn't give Miracle Marty all her horses.
Why waste time and money with guys like Mott amd Malcolm Pierce.
Not to mention the biggest joke for a trainer in NY, John Kimmel.

You can't lump Kimmel in with the others; he actually won a stakes race at Saratoga with Remarkable Remy for Live Oak.

When the owner was gunna retire M APPROVAL, Wolfson begged to "let me try " with the horse. Almost like he knew (for sure) that he had the answer.

Mott always thought highly of her. He just couldn't get her to run in the afternoon, for whatever reason. In her case, it was more 'psychological' than anything.

Still waiting for Wolfson to work his magic on Onoitsmymothernlaw.
