Now more than ever, because his placement judgments are consistently spot-on.

Brilliant tactical maneuver given today\'s circumstances........and the horse had to be able to adapt...and he beat me so I\'m not sucking up or redboarding. This guy can watch races and understands what\'s happening out there and adapts. I understand why he ikes riding this kid. He can tell him something and he listens.

They interviewed him before the race, Baffert gave him no instructions, just told Garcia it was his, contrary to Coil\'s last race when he told Garcia to get to the front.   When he broke last, Baffert reportedly went apeshit in disgust.

and just a few minutes later, on national television, he\'s calm, cool, collected and unperturbed........

Yea, I\'m sure those emotional swings aren\'t uncommon when you ship a horse 3000 miles for a million dollar purse.
