I've been in Africa for 2 weeks and couldn't sign in on my device, but I'm astonished at some comments. Not the Baffert hatred; I can see that. But the siding with CDI's arbitrary action just because you hate the object. Yes, we all know that CDI is a private entity and can do what it likes. But recall that the U.S. Constitution protects not only free speech, but the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances. That includes filing a lawsuit, because you are asking the government to help you. Thus, we also all agree that no governmental agency could sanction Baffert or Zedan ..read more

thanks. You’re welcome ! David Grening @DRFGrening And Whit Beckman confirms that Ben Curtis will retain the mount on Honor Marie for Derby 150. Glad to hear it, thanks! He may not have experience in the Derby, but he has ridden in many huge races, like the Epsom Darby ... I don’t think the moment will scare him; I didn’t feel comfortable with a new jockey on HM for ghr Derby Statistics: Posted by Slewfan2 — Mon Apr 22, 2024 4:21 pm ..read more

Yeah the people that criticize/dislike Bafferto for legitimate reasons are part of a cult hive mind, but the people that viscously, desperately crawl through broken glass to excuse every one of the many "mistakes" he has made are totally not part of a hive mind. Riiiiiight..... Baffert had dope positives for the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. Nobody else. That is a fact. Live with that. I like Bob Baffert- he is a great trainer-- and yes he has made some mistakes-- he is not a doper as some have called him on some forums. CDI is being petty, nasty and vindictive- they said 2 years ban ..read more

He (or they) could have "careers" as pleasure horses on the farm for family and friends to ride. Hope they do - most horses like a job! Statistics: Posted by Squeaky — Mon Apr 22, 2024 3:43 pm ..read more

Honor Marie is only going to work one more time, on Thursday I was worried, but apparently He’s ready to run 1 1/4 right now, lol https://x.com/legionbldstk/status/17820 ... 44751?s=46 thanks.

awesome. nice update on Theprinceofthebes too. i've wondered about him. i wish all breeders with Jane's power did the same. Of course, I would never wish for any horse to suffer an injury, but the shoe issue and related injury for Olivier might have been a blessing in disguise. The claim was voided, and now he's been responsibly retired and is going home to the place of his birth to be loved and cared for like any horse deserves. The alternative would have been for him to get put on a boat and sent Camarero. God knows what would have happened to him there! Since he is young and relati ..read more
