What A Song...3 for 3

...with his win today in the Best Pal.

Very promising colt (and this sure can't hurt his sire's move to Kentucky for 2006).

When Baffert attends the sales previews he picks out the best movers and WAS was high on Baf's list. Baf doesnt look at the pedigree's until after he watches those TB run in those previews.

WAS bottom line is unusual in that you usually dont see many quality TB in GR Stakes victories with those ancestors.

Any way WAS is a superior runner, as he proved today. May he stay sound and carry his victories into greatness.

If you think Baffert based his decissions solely on Werk nicks, you're an idiot.

When Baf first came over to the TB he paid Werk for those AA+ nicks, but he soon realized they didnt separate the wheat from the chaff.

I know this is true because Baf told me so.

again, if you think he based his decision SOLELY on the Werk nicks, you're a fool.

BTW, you do know they are friends and have known each other for years, don't you?
