This lady is a farce. After backing up some 30 lengths in the Derby, she sends Tueflesberg to Old Hilltop \"because I think it fits his style better. Plus it will be fun to be up in the stakes barn with Nick (Zito).\"
Great. Her horse is sore and beat up, but she\'ll be having fun with Nicky in the Stakes Barn. Does she realize how STUPID this makes her look and how her obvious disrespect for the animal is going to hurt her reputation in the long run.
Was this the horse that CTC recommended to Irwin/Team Valor?

THIS \"LADY\" IS A DISGRACE TO THE GAME, SHE IS RUNNING THE HORSE INTO THE GROUND TO PROMOTE HERSELF ON NATIONAL TV, THIS YEAR SHE IS 2 FOR 103 AS A TRAINER, ON TV SHE SOUNDED LIKE A NASCAR MECHANIC, WOULD ANYONE BUT AN ABSOLUTE SUCKER GIVE THIS PIP-SQUEAK A HORSE? BUT LOOK AT THE SUCKER NAMED JEFF SINGER WHO BOUGHT A PIECE OF THE HORSE SO HE CAN GET BE IN THE DERBY. THIS ALL MAKES ME SICK!
The Derby is a funny race. Just consider the debate over the figures, opinions vary drastically. I think Tgraph is pretty close to correct after some review. Some things don\'t really add up, knock a point off everyone and it seems pretty square.
Teuflesberg looked trememdous coming into the Derby. Many thought he was the best physical specimen. He\'d proven he could beat or be right there with the best. he was worth a flyer in the money at 52-1. I had him in third and fourth and had him tri keyed on top for a total of 18 dollars just in case. I\'ve seen much stranger things happen than a big dappled horse getting brave loose on the lead. The problem was the crowd got to him and it got to Cowtown too and made Cat crazy to run. Add to that Hard Spun decided to go and everyone knew if he did go the lead was his.
I have a two year old for Team Valor, but I\'ll insist upon selecting the trainer.

The fact the they did it? Or the fact that they have the money to do it?
