there's been friction since the bluegrass bs. he was not happy with all the tail dying and then washing out. he felt, and rightly so, that it did the horse no favors at all.
i don't envy trainers who have to deal with folks who think the horse is a toy to be played with.

It will make the loading process after him interesting. That behavior tends to be contagious. Otherwise a great spot.

I like him as well. Sadly, without the aid of any scratches, he won't make the lead, and his record when he doesn't make the lead isn't too hot.

I do too, but little mike will most likely be on the lead which won't help him.
