I thought the owner/breeder might have taken him back once Baffert was no longer the trainer, but Fipke owned him from start #1.

You like his chances?

Is he supposed to be a rabbit for some other horse?

What am I missing here?

I remember when this owner broke into the game by buying a 2million 2yo at the Barrets sale a couple of years ago with Baffert. Cant recall his name, but ran about 6 races in 3 years. He's definately has deep pockets///

Yeah - Diamond Fury for $2.7 million ... Baffert absolutely took him to the school yard on that one.

A Tactical Cat filly worked faster at both 1f and 2f - than the $2.7 million Sea of Secrets - in two seperate under-tack previews that year.

The Tactical Cat filly ended up being stakes winner Fashion Girl. Diamond Fury was 3-for-17 lifetime and never earned black type. How that horse - sired by Sea of Secrets - ever reached $2.7 million is one of those good stories we'll never know .. but I'm sure someone other than just the seller had a picnick off of that one.

Here's another late supp that is also a total waste of 6k .... but at least this horse has paid for himself.



He obviously wants the turf - and wants an uncontested lead on it - unless they're moving one of the Triple Crown races to the turf ....

Exactly what got that horse bet down to 11/1 for his maiden win?
