Mullins/Gato Go Win SCR story emerging

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I think it would be just wonderful to go from a Rick Dutrow Jr. trained Derby winner to a Jeff Mullins trained Derby winner.

I couldn't think of two trainers alive who have made such metoric rises from total obscurity to major circuit kingpins in such very short time. And now that they've paid their dues and stayed near the very top for five or six years ... don't they deserve to win the Derby more than their training counterparts who lack such Alchemistic genius?

Poor Larry Jones. All he can ever do is seem to run 2nd. I think the Derby Gods have frowned on him so because - while he does have the magic of a Dutrow or Mullins - he lacks the sheer hate-ability of those two.

Is hateability even a real word?
