"Hendricks has done a fabulous job with Brother Derek"

Ok, so it was fabulous he ran the horse back in 2 weeks after a grueling race in Kentucky where he was bumped several times, checked, lost a shoe, was 15 wide and ran his heart out. That was fabulous entering?"

Was it also 'fabulous' that Hendricks didn't use Bend shoes on BD at Churchill when Steve Asmussen and Dale Romans did? Was that fabulous training? Was it? Was it fabulous the 2 best trainers at Churchill realized that bend shoes were necessary and a trainer from So Cal didn't know to put them on. Ok, i guess that was intelligent on Hendricks part.

Maybe i need to apologize to the NY times, maybe they aren't as bad as rags like the NY post and stuff like that. I just don't like non-racing people running to report negative racing stories when they NEVER even talk about horseracing when something good happens.

As far as owners being dumb, other than Robert Bone and maybe a few scattered others, there are plenty of owners who know absolutely nothing about horseracing. Do you think that most owners are razor sharp and know what they doing? Tell me more.

And yeah, there's plenty i'd do for racing if given the chance.
