Who knows Paula Capestro or Eric Kruljac?

Hi, everyone,

Just wondering what we know about these two trainers. Anyone ever work with them, or have horses with them?

We hear they are pretty good folks. Who would you rate the best of the two?

Thanks in advance for your insights.

Hi tbrace,

Both Paula Capestro and Eric Kruljac are very well respected trainers. Paula picked out and has campaigned River's Prayer, while Eric did a great job with Leave Me Alone.
Either would be a fine trainer for you, but it mostly depend on where you want to race. Paula is based mostly in California, while Eric is out of Arizona, though he does maintain a barn in SC.
Can't go wrong with either.

Can't speak fron first hand experience about Paula Capestro. I have used Kruljac--he's a liar and a thief with a substance problem. From what I can tell most of his owners have left him; Im not even sure he trains in CA any longer.

Paula Capestro is not around her barn like most trainers. Her gallop boys run her shedrow.
