Of course, no one bothered to correct the gross error in the actual article.

Papa Clem did not win the Strub. He didn't even run in it.

I'm a bad person... I didn't even bother reading it.

Scratch that, The Factor wins (hey I'm allowed to change my mind).

Smash wins, and sets the tone for what will be a big year, for Kaleem Shah.

Who else does that owner have in training right now (other than Uncle Sam)? He's had some nice maiden winners the last couple of years, but none of them have been able to train on for one reason or another.

Thanks. I hope there's more out there, though.

Else, he might have a good Fairplex meet at best.

He has to be referring to some soon to be 3YOs, right? May Day Rose and Tweebster both stink.

Thanks Arletta!!!

That's what I was thinking, too, but I don't recall very many 2yos starting so far for that owner. Eden's Moon is the only one off the top of my head, actually.

Lasso (Baffert) looks strong, and the Hoffmans debuter looks live too. Gotta think with the breeding on the Hoffmans though, turf.

The other Baffert, with that pedigree, will take money.

First time looking...you are right...lots of serious workouts from this group. Probably going to take a shot with the 1 and 9, hoping they get overlooked.

He has many 2 year olds who are getting ready to make their debut. This guy has had the worst run of luck....especially for someone who has invested 30 plus million over the last few years.

Bob Baffert should have his own room around here.

Guy is a legend. Best trainer in the history of horse racing. True GOAT status. Plus the hair, plus his wife. Bobs a ROCKHARDTEN in my book.

Has he really spent that much money already? Please tell me he has a farm with a few choice broodmares somewhere in Kentucky.

His silks are eerily reminiscent of James MacIngvale.

I think I can sum it up pretty well with this.

How can you not dislike him after that? Plus he was kind of a douche to me at Saratoga a few years ago. On top of that, I thought his behavior after the Big Cap this year was pretty embarrassing.

Whatever happened to Take Control? The AP Indy- Azeri colt. Didn't he finally make the entries a while back, then proceed to scratch? He had tough luck with Irrefutable after running 2nd in the Underwood at HP>

Can anyone honestly look at those PP's and not think CHEATER? I guess those front wraps really do work!

It's very easy to come to this conclusion based upon the trainer however. He went from Turf Routes to 8 on the Inner and then turf Sprints. Aside from the trainer could there be a remote chance that he found his niche at 7 on the Dirt?

Looking at #10, WINE POLICE. In a little tough, but nicely positioned and always runs well fresh.

Looking to beat Mr. Commons with Venomous. I've just never been that impressed with Mr. Commons and I think Venomous will get all the pace he needs.

What did Baffert do in the Big Cap that was embarrasing?
