Henning trained this horse to give the best performance of any horse on the track in the Wood.
You can't have it both ways guys. If you are sheet guys, then it's all about the number and I'm confident that the number will show who was 'best'. If you are a pace or trip guy, then Eddington was once again best.
I'll give you the fact that he does lack the exceptional turn of foot that others seem to possess, but don't blame the horse or trainer for the end result. The great Bailey is solely responsible for him not being in.

For Bitplayer to say he had every oppurtunity to run away from the field at the head of the stretch is naive at best and ignorant at worst. There doesn't appear to be much understanding of what the horse did for the first mile of the race. I beg you to watch the Woodbine Breeder's Cup Classic with Bailey on Cigar and the 2004 Wood with Bailey on Eddington. The similiarity is uncanny.

For jbelfior, two dubious examples of Hennings training history do not carry much weight. I'd love to hear you expand on the mismanagement of Gygistar and Raging Fever. Does he own those horses ? Is he solely responsible for deciding where and when they run ? The only thing I can say with regards to Gygistar, is that he is no longer and threat in Grade 1's.
Shame on you Henning.

This will be my final post on Eddington until he races again.

Thanks all and may the ones who belong come back safely.
