The "interview" sounded more like an invitation by Jill to bring Christian in and answer questions as a response to Christian's accusations pre-Belmont which the Baffert clan found "hurtful."
But I was impressed with all the secrets of success: Hard work, Ice on their legs, and good horses.
Got it. I'll tell my friends that are owners to have their trainers ice their horses' legs and tell them to get to work.
After Marley's Freedom worked in 1:10.80 today, I am giving richiebee's ideas serious credence.

I would not be surprised if PEDs played a part in this "long and fast" regimen. Would it be interesting if some banned race day PEDs were absolutely banned, and all horses working 6 furlongs or more were tested after said works? Or if horses working at any distance were randomly tested? If anything, it would probably prove to be a revealing "fact finding
enterprise", to use the words of Rick Art[/i][i]hur."[/i]
