Default Coil's work

Baffert getting cold feet about Travers after todays work. It will be a shame if he doesn't run.

He and his staff need to get their stories straight. The assistant liked the work, according to DRF, but Baffert wasn't wild about it from 3000 miles away.

I guess Hoosier Park finally ponied up that appearance fee for the Indiana Derby.

His jockey liked the work as well.

Changed his tune on Twitter last night -

@Midnightlute - Feel much better after watching Coil work on DRF video. Gave Saddleranch too much of a head start on a deep track

Is there a bigger attention whore in racing than Baffert? If only Animal Kingdom was healthy, the paddock for the Travers might have the highest concentration of egomaniacs in the history of racing between Baffert, Irwin, and Repole.

I think he is great entertainment, you just cant take him to seriously. Wouldn't you rather have him then a million others? Plus no denying that he is a fn great trainer. As for the shannagans and his willingness to be a appearance fee whore how do you blame him, its such a tough sport to make money in.

That would be a sight.... Honestly, he doesn't bother me.... But between the depth of the main track and the weather, all he seems to do is complain the Spa. Sounds like he's looking for any excuse to get Coil back west.

Why the hostility, Nicholas? You don't know the man. Is Bill Bellichick the same guy on camera as he is off of it?
