Re: Trainers' pre-race comments (1172 Views)

No offense but I totally disagree. I wish I had a dime for every time I heard a trainer tout his horse (he cleaned out his feed tub!) and then watched him run up the track. And if they bet, they downplay the horse's chances and then you can watch them romp home by ten lengths. Trainer comments are probably some of the best reasons to buy TG, just to get past all the BS.

This was the same Bob Baffert who was talking about Point Given before last year's Derby, right? It's too bad they actually had to run. After the race he gave some excellent reasons why PG didn't fire, but it was nothing he could tell you ahead of time. You might as well have listened to the drunks in the grandstand. Yeesh. HP
