I love the irony of Silver Charm posting about Bob Baffert. Bob being fired by Sanan and MacIngvaile(sp?) is really not a surprise to me. Both owners have been through different trainers for different reasons. They seem to be the types of owners who would want to be involved and probably don't take bad news, bad results or excuses well. With the amount of money that they spend I could understand it. Add in that Baffert is laid back late riser type and you could see the clash there. That is probably the work ethic that you refer to. Another thing is Baffert has acheived the things that both Romans and Pletcher desire, The triple crown and breeders cup wins. I'm sure the fire that Baffert once had is not a strong as it once was.
