Other trainers would probably have given up on him as a head case. We survive beacuse we leave him alone to do what he wants, when he wants. I am not going to change him, so we work with and not against him. I could never give up on a horse with this much potential and talent. Besides, he makes me laugh everyday.
Trainers try to find the best and most competitive spots for their horses.
Sometimes horses are over-faced because of pressures from owners. I try to be very realistic about where to run my horses. I should also know how my horses are acting and training going into a race. Then I read the form and hope for the best and expect the worst. Are you interested in the possibility of offering your services to new owners.
