What the Nation is saying about Spend A Buck...

  • bobstaggs2010@yahoo.com · This Horse seems to me to have that added ingredient that will help him win the Derby....he loves to run.....I believe with Baffert's wisdom and experience he will have Factor ready.....Baffert is the best and Martin Garcia is an excellent hand rider and " find the hole " Rider... and knows when to make his move..... his only downside is he likes to play a little but after all he is still very young....he seems to get in front and tease the other Horses saying "Go ahead...catch me if you can...." Hopefully Martin can make him keep his minmd on his business · 313 days ago ·
