You can't really believe anything a trainer says about his/her horses. . . (Sadly I didn't listen to my own advice today.)

casino drives connections appear to be legit, and only care about the horse.. unlike most trainers over here

If the figure is to be believed - the horse that impressed me in there was Unbridled's Heart. I was a little skeptical of him - but if the fig is true he's pretty good.
Yeah, and that led to a near last-to-first winner at 32-1.

Plus in the other two dirt races, the fractions were VERY slow, and the track had been playing slowly for days.

I'm not saying he flew, but I'd call his pace quicker than average.

It has nothing to do with caring about the horse - how can they quantify a horse's fitness level like that? Especially when he's so lightly raced?

He was unopposed on a clear lead under mild rating and making his own pace - when that happens again in one of his races let me know.

It's happened in nearly every single one of his races, so why couldn't it happen again? Are you saying he just keeps running into fields with no speed?

Those Japs rock those horses out.

When I was living in Australia, a trainer told me that anytime a horse was returned from Japan or Hong Kong that it would lose it's mind and cower in the stall if an asian walked by or was anywhere around.

Apparently they are pretty rough on them, this is just hearsay though. And more Hong Kong than Japan due to the constant back and forth with the Aussies and Hong Kong runners.

Didn't you just say who cares about Mint Lane? Now he might be the best three-year-old we have?

I'll wait for his next race before I go crowning anyone, but I don't see how one can't be impressed with his race on Friday.
