Seriously would consider resting both Chrome and Arrogate until the Classic. Good story.

I read this article yesterday, good stuff.  I agree that he almost certainly wont run anywhere before the BC.

Was that something that could have been shared with us before post time? Or did Baffert tell Jerry in confidence. I am not saying I would have played him, buy for sure would have given him much more consideration. Baffert does not travel with dead wood.

[TGJB]

He told me it was in confidence, but even if he didn\'t I wouldn\'t have said anything publicly.

[ruthlessman]

Understood.

You stated nobody( other trainers) is/are able to do what baffert does re getting horse to run big numbers in consecutive/series of races. Were you talking about 3yr olds or horses in general?

[TGJB]

3 year olds.

Baffert had nothing else better to do after the Travers and was texting Brown.LO.L

[TGJB]

Yep, you\'re right. I made it up. And said it in a publication read by the whole industry. Cause what could possibly go wrong.

Keep posting. You\'re winning.

BB confirmed the text exchange between TGJB and himself on Roger Stein\'s show~15:42 mark.  BTW - We got the usual sound-effect from Stein dismissing TG as an imitation, but was taken back by Hardoon\'s reaction since he pretty much stays on the sidelines whenever Stein goes on his TG-imitation tirade.

[TGJB]

I wouldn\'t have made the conversation public if Baffert hadn\'t already done so on the radio show.

Is that what is called hoof in mouth?
