I should seriously consider taking you on as my protege. After a few months, I'd have you disregarding figures and wise tales when it comes to turf racing.

My point is not that these horses, and others in Penna's barn, are performing so well relative to their recent form but rather that they've improved significantly since Penna first got them. Bialetti was a flat out plug, and Diaomondrella wasn't much better, under Violette's care. Penna has been killing them this year.

That's my point.
