A good friend of mine told me he was handling McPeeks Saratoga String now. This is an outstanding individual Trainer and a great addition to a talented staff in that Barn.
At the end of the day, You still need the athletes. But you need quality people who know what to do with them. Perhaps one day Kenny will tell hom \"you know I had Harlans Holiday until they gave him to Platcher\". Whereupon Jerkins can reply \"And I had Quality Road until they gave him to Platcher\".
I may be wrong but I dont remember McPeek or Jerkins having about half a dozen positives. Combined......
You are so correct calling Jimmy an Outstanding Individual. I think Evans taking him away off the Fl. Derby was as bad as it gets. Had a run with Stronach, but then just Centennial, not enough. Great to see McPeek do this, he won races but didn’t love the desert. Just a class individual as his father of course and Steve. So on Monday and Tuesday afternoons JAJ might be back at the Victoria Pool, great conversations.
