tmallios1 · I never said he was not honest. I am sure he is that and more. But just because they train horses and people like them or anyone for that matter. Does not make them great guys. It is that after yesterdays news,many are making lists of the potential good guys and bad guys. In my way of thinking,they are all grouped in one.They are the racing industry. Until further evidence comes out to support more cruelty or if this truly is an isolated instance. This is a major black eye for all of them.When i say that,i mean the entire industry which they are a part of. By that i am including friends who i know personally. It is not an attack on their charecters,but like they say. Until the case is closed.Everybody in one way or another could be deemed a suspect. · 1798 days ago
Ruffianlover · I don't think a lot of people are making lists. I think a lot of people already had people they did and didn't like. I never cared for ones like oneill or Lukas. When everyone praises them I never say a word or jump on that bandwagon. But I have talked praises about matz for years. He's a classy guy who would never have said the things said in that video about these wonderful animals · 1798 days ago

2 part article posted by the Int'l Fund for Horses on Baffert deaths, reposted on Paulickreport's twitter column. I'm posting this for discussion purposes, and for those who have inside info on the accuracy of the high profile trainer violation stats posted in part 1 of the article. http://tuesdayshorse.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/deadly-to-horses-the-baffert-effect-part-1/

tmallios1 · I am sorry Anne. You are correct Goblin. Anne,this is a horse that Amino and i have a lot of respect for. As an early 3yo last year,he was Bafferts #1 prospect for the Triple Crown races. The things i heard about him,if half of them come to reality.You may be looking at this years BC winner. He is that good. In his most recent race,he ran incredible.Being pushed through scorching fractions,he managed to draw off. Fact he has Mr. Arrogance up( i say that with all the compliments in the world) Gar ,when he knows he is sitting on the best. He never plays games,he just goes and if you beat him, he will be the first to shake your hand on a job well done.Evidence is his ride on Oxbow in the Preakness.Never gave them a chance.Inys legacy did not run as good as planned. A few details,but this guy wants ground.Sprinting is not his game. We have Famous coming up in the Holy Bull. · 1865 days ago

Graham Motion will no longer be training any horses for Team Valor Int. Rick Mettee replaces him

Dressage3295 · Motion is probably one of the best trainers out there right now (IMO). Irwin is a fool for replacing him · 2148 days ago
cocoa2 · Irwin is no fool for replacing him... Irwin now has a trainer who takes only him, I would've done the same. Metee is a good trainer too · 2148 days ago

His barn seems fairly quiet with 2-3 year olds. Anyone know of any good prospects from this great trainer?

kay.robinett · while not a youngster (I believe he will be four this year), keep an eye out for Capitan Futuro, a promising turf colt who made his US debut at the Keeneland fall meet. looked really good winning a 12 furlong allowance on the grass for Team Valor and Graham Motion. · 2239 days ago
