  • Cardly Knot · Sorry Ruhlmann, I didn't mean to offend anyone...'WELL..YOU KNOW"...especially my fav rider. I read that he couldn't live w/out his lesson's on a profile of his somewhere online. Not so sure Baffert will send Prayer for Relief to Churchill after the Ok Derby - such a nice horse flying under the radar these days. 3 weeks out is short time leading up to a huge race. Ghelguera, ..errr...yeah. ok. Lets talk after the BC. · 229 days ago ·
