This article appeared in the Post. A few years ago they ran some quotes from Baffert attacking me for some comments I made in my DRF article saying Silver Charm was only 25% to win the Belmont, and when I talked to him a few months later he told me they were some off the cuff comments not intended to be nearly as hot as they sounded-- we became pretty friendly. Last week, the Post "quoted" me as well, and juiced up my comments to make them more sexy. I'm pretty friendly with Kerrison (I named a horse after him, he wrote a pretty funny column when he found out it was a gelding), and he has treated me well in his Triple Crown pieces over the years. But no heat, no story-- my guess is that Servis was not accusing anyone of anything, just saying the pressure cost SJ the race.
