Title: Always B Miki
Post by: Scooteroo on October 06, 2024, 07:48:11 PM: When Jimmy Takter trained Always B Miki as a 4- and 5-year-old, he called him the "greatest horse ever". He should have checked the stats first. How can a horse who lost 23 times in 53 lifetime starts be called the greatest ever?

Father Patrick was the best he ever trained. The answer is simple...Jimmy is a salesman.

Everybody on here except 1 person saw the horse meanig Karl wasn't quite right.. I don't think more starts would have helped..

I'm sure he believes if he says it enough people will believe it to be true. Just like the time he said "It wasn't me bangin the blonde groom in the barn" ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
