Surprised that Farish let Neil Howard chicken out of the Clark.
I guess he dont have a lot of confidence in his private trainer since he has won all of 11 races from 144 runners. ( 3 by Mambo in Seattle).

Im fairly confident if I had Will Farishs' horses I could win at better than an 8% clip.

Wouldn't running Mambo In Seattle, a horse who has yet to win a graded stakes, in a race like the Clark (versus top class Commentator) be the type of move that would cause Howard to hit at 8%?

Maybe you'd be a better fit taking over the Paraneck operation.

Mambo in Seattle ran a month ago, for what it's worth, at Keeneland. He's hardly " returning. "

So a couple of inches the other way and he's a Travers winner and fits in the Clark but since those inches didn't go his way, he'd be overmatched in the race?

Did you see the Jockey Club Gold Cup or the Ben Ali? How many inches did he need to win those?

Note the Travers is a age-restricted race, too. Are 3yos beating top class older horses like Commentator right and left?

Well shouldnt the horse that loses the worst head-bob ever in the G1 Travers, supposed to be running in the Clark.
If a horse loses a photo in the Travers, the highlight of his fall campaign shouldnt be a 60k overnight at the FG.

I would school those guys at Paraneck also....And so would anyone with a brain and the ability to hire a good vet.
