Why don't we just give every good horse to Baffert? Maybe a few to Brown and Pletcher. Everyone has to be a copycat. Nobody can think for themselves or outside the box.

Fewer owners and now fewer trainers are making the Triple Crown achievement less meaningful.

Baffert on Coliseum: 'We'll stretch him out' for next start


Coliseum, a homebred son of Tapit for Godolphin LLC of Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum of Dubai, wired the field in the seven-furlong opener Saturday piloted, as was Mucho Gusto, by Joe Talamo.

“(Coliseum) has been tough to work with, he wants to run off in his works and it’s been hard to get him to relax,” Baffert said. “Now we’ve got that race out of the way and we’ll stretch him out. I’m happy for Joe. He has put in a lot of time and work with him. He’s a good horseman and he gives me a lot of good feedback.”

Thanks for the heads-up, Weinke.

So Baffert is their Calipari?....one & done if it happens, then retired to stud where their value is. Actually...I should say Barnes, Baffert doesn't do much training anymore.

Baffert just signs the checks for the juice...

Coliseum was listed as the even-money favorite in the program and 3/5 at post time.

He finished sixth in the field of seven.
