All can be true, although as much as I am a “horse” person and have spent a good bit of my life taking care of them, I try to stay away from the strict personification labels.  Many trainers are the opposite, because it gives them cop out excuses or worse.  The “horse whisperers” are the ones that figure out what makes each individual perform at its best.  Sometimes the “best” is as a riding horse.  Time will tell with HH.

2 in a row with another 2nd and 3rd since going to the Burke barn.  Has made back the overwhelming majority of his purchase price in 2 months.  Won in 53.3 at Scioto with a broken hopple hanger causing the right rear hopple to smack unnaturally low on right rear.  Just won at Northfield in 1:55 in BCS, which he will have ample opportunity to do further damage.

Would have loved to been along with him.  With his gait and pedigree he should just be getting into his groove.
