I do not want to detract from TP's accomplishments. His father was a very good horseman and TP came up under Lukas. I think Lukas' greatest influence on his assistants was to teach them how to be able to find competent assistants of their own so that they could maintain efficient winning strings of horses at three or four tracks simultaneously. If TP wants to, he dominates racing for the next 15- 20 years if racing lasts that long.
But back to the positive. I hate to throw a "Seinfeld" reference in, but I think it is pertinent: Remember when Elaine was editing a book for Rava, the over the top author from Iceland? At one point, Elaine mentions something to Rava about a "small coincidence". Rava snaps back adamantly that there is no such thing as a "small coincidence", that its either a coincidence or its not. I feel the same way about positives.
