Smash wins, and sets the tone for what will be a big year, for Kaleem Shah.

Who else does that owner have in training right now (other than Uncle Sam)? He's had some nice maiden winners the last couple of years, but none of them have been able to train on for one reason or another.

Thanks. I hope there's more out there, though.

Else, he might have a good Fairplex meet at best.

He has to be referring to some soon to be 3YOs, right? May Day Rose and Tweebster both stink.

That's what I was thinking, too, but I don't recall very many 2yos starting so far for that owner. Eden's Moon is the only one off the top of my head, actually.

Whatever happened to Take Control? The AP Indy- Azeri colt. Didn't he finally make the entries a while back, then proceed to scratch? He had tough luck with Irrefutable after running 2nd in the Underwood at HP>

He has many 2 year olds who are getting ready to make their debut. This guy has had the worst run of luck....especially for someone who has invested 30 plus million over the last few years.

Bob Baffert should have his own room around here.

Guy is a legend. Best trainer in the history of horse racing. True GOAT status. Plus the hair, plus his wife. Bobs a ROCKHARDTEN in my book.

I think I can sum it up pretty well with this.

How can you not dislike him after that? Plus he was kind of a douche to me at Saratoga a few years ago. On top of that, I thought his behavior after the Big Cap this year was pretty embarrassing.

What did Baffert do in the Big Cap that was embarrasing?

Has he really spent that much money already? Please tell me he has a farm with a few choice broodmares somewhere in Kentucky.

His silks are eerily reminiscent of James MacIngvale.
