Default Keeneland's second W2W winner R9 today

Keenelands Poly finally saw it's second W2W winner.

The other details: Bothe Races were won by Wayne Catalano and ridden by Robby Albarado. Catalano may be the best trainer in America period. It's not to say he's not a move up trainer, but his stats are by far the best in America.

Steve Leving has a lot to do with the success of the Catalano stable.

He gets fired weekly by Calabrese. The guy is smart but Catalano is the braintrust there, not Leving, nor Calabrese

Catalano is good, but he will tell you himself that Steve does a very good job for them. The one full year leving was gone they were upside down. That stable makes money, not many can say that.

I know FCC is a hard guy to jive with, hell fire anyone.

The year that stable was upside down Catalano was gone also. Leving, from all accounts, is full of crap, and was the guy who PRESSED FCC to run Lewis Michael against Showing Up at Colonial, when FCC wanted to run in the Arlington 3 year old series, that move got him canned, and then back in the 'crowd' two weeks later.

From what I heard, he doesn't work for them, strictly part of his 'crew' and advises on certain things.

As for making money, I am going to look into that because FCC could care less about money, all he cares about is wins, he is the king of claiming for 10k and then running for 4k

First off I don't smoke. I'm certainly not a fan of Albarado's, just pointing out the facts.

Simon is a good - decent trainer,as is Wilkes and quite a few others, but comon ..his stats don't even compare to Catalano's. The man - the team however you put it, wins over 30% of his starters.

What are you smoking...?
