I'm not Bafferts Press Agent but someone who knows gave me some insight into his operation. For everyone of these Concert Tours, Hoziers (the $500,000 types) that look like they are something.....there are another 4 or 5 he has for these same owner groups that never make it to the Track.

Look for this crew there about 5 of them that are putting up $100,000 a piece. If a Nadal wins a few races and gets syndicated for $12,500,000 its like a 25-1 shot. Its a different form a gambling for people who have that kind of money.

Is there pressure on Baffert to produce? I guess. I mean right now there are not anymore Cal Breds in his barn. Pletcher might fool around with a Claim for Repole and have sort of a back door stable down here at GP. Baffert is more of churn and turn operation.

BTW the source who told me this had 2 Eclipse winners with Brown. He still uses Brown but he is now also Teaming up with Saffie Joseph......
