The Big Cap I am talking about was a great field. In that year the Breeders Cup was still in its infancy, no Dubai, and not all American trainers and Racing Secretarys for that matter, had shifted their programs in the direction of the Breeders Cup.

The Big Cap was THE RACE back then. Horses would ship in from the East and take a shot. Precisionist was the favorite that year and Greinton ran down in the final strides a front running, FTL, 300-1 longshot by the name of Herat.

In his prepping for the race Whittingham gave Greinton a 1 1/4 mile work in 2:04. Now days people would use a prep race and try and win some money at the same time. There are horsemen out there who can still train like this. Not everyone is a gasoline type trainer such as Baffert and yet there are so many members of the media who live their lives by the moniker of "All Baffert all the time" that he becomes the only trainer they want to write about. It is an injustice!
