There's always a reason for a horses bad temper. I'd first suspect pain. With regards to John Henry it was he hated being cooped up. It could have been a bad experience as a young horse that the horse holds a grudge and never forgets. Most of the time, no one will take the time to figure the horse out. They are so much smarter than we give them credit for, as all animals are.

Michael Blowen is a Thoroughbred's most valuable friend. Such a valuable human.

What a great job you have

Thank goodness there are you who can give the grace to these wonderful beings the retirement that they deserve.

Too bad Exceller and Ferdinand didn’t get to have a retirement.

Im Glad this person is willing to surrender OUR Horses back. Sad ! NONE OF OUR HORSES SHOULD EVER! BE SENT OVER SEAS! NONE OF THEM SHOULD BE EATEN!!!!! And What Horse Likes a Shank ????

💞💖💓💗THEY ALL WHO RACE NEED RETIREMENT. Or another job if they’re not unsound

I will never forgive the Japanese for sending Ferdinand to the glue factory. I don't think horses should be sent to slaughter, but especially a champion resource like that.

Thank you is a short word, for what you do for those horses and for the fans that are relax, knowing that they are taking good care .

🙏💯❤

War Emblem probably would have won the Belmont but the assistant starter held him in the Starting Gate..... them New Yorkers weren't going to let any Arab win a Triple Crown or Belmont in New York at that time....

Do the old retired stallions get gelded?

Pat rode my favorite horse, him and Easy Goer made history

Calvin is Great.

I will never forget the day my high school choir was at state in HOT Springs Ar when A friend of mine and I met two young men. We walked and talked for a few hours and this one super nice young man explained to me he was in HS actually training to be a horse jockey!.. Since I loved horses and grew up around them I was very taken back by this boy!.. We exchanged ph numbers but never saw or spoke again after that nightll!..Later in life I was married w two children and will never forget hearing about the results of a horse race in HOT Springs where they said Pat Day was the winning jockey that day .. Oh My !..It IS a small world isn't it??..

Who would want to purchase a horse w/o this man's opinion? Certainly, not me! Thank you, Mr. Contessa! ❤

Is the horses's chin comprised of muscle? Orbicularis Oris?

Bless you Mr. Blowen glad fire while awful wasn’t disastrous since there was no loss of life and it did not spread

I watch him win I remember him .

Calvin Wins The Derby and takes off that Mount to ride Rachel in Preakness...That was a BOLD BOLD Move and CONFIDENT Move...He knows who and what Rachel is and basically GUARANTEED she would win the Preakness

Class act

It was a big fan of yours funny shoemaker and the my lafet

I sure hope Silver Charm lives to be at least 35. We're not ready to lose him yet

Ridden to the Breeder's Cup winners circles by Pat Day , that is.Dance Smartly became Champion 3 yr. old filly in 1991. Sky Classic older Turf Male, 1992. Wow..what a ride for Pat Day and all of us Samson Farm Stables Crew in Ocala, FL. Those bonuses paid my college tuition at the University of Florida (graduated in '94, highest honors). Thank you Pat Day. and praise our Lord for keeping you in the game for so many years.

Dance Smartly, Sky Classic , the two champions that put bonuses in my paycheck as a morning rider for SamSon Farms Racing were both ridden to the breeder's Cup winner's circle in 1991-2. Want to find a class act every day, day after day on the track...find Pat Day. What a true blessing to the thoroughbred racing industry. AMEN.

Gary, what are you doing these days now that that you have retired from race training?

Thanks for sharing your insight.

Pat do you think it's a sin to bet on horses

Someone could have mistreated him before he was brought there

You're not even training any longer.

He’s a good boy!!!

This works the wrong muscles

I asked the question about watching the walk before you got to the subject.

If I were on the market for a racehorse and had money to burn, I would be keeping in mind a model of American Pharaoh's running action and use that as a "model." I know you are retired from training now, Gary, but it would sure be interesting to go to a sale with you! How reliable is it to list the "good walkers," the striders. Does that consistently translate or carry over on to the race track?

My absolute favorite was the Mine That Bird win. Thanks for all the thrills Calvin!

Man, what a relief to here a horse professional tell the truth.

Makes a lot of sense!

Bonita la hermana de patric

Love Calvin! I always watch him in his races--very carefully. What a pleasure. Plus there's his respect for Rachel.

this a very very funny video ,, the majority of his purchases in the last 10 years he bought for 40k or less I always threw them out when I was betting 2 years old races in New York they all turned out to be awful his winning percentage overall 5% he was terrible. his 5 % winning record out of 100 is terrible ,,, But he tells a good video ,,,,his owners are just throwing away their money paying the day rate on his 2 years olds purchases they lost a ton of money

He's lightened up sooo much! I remember watching him race at Santa Anita and he was dapple gray as a youngster. He's gorgeous

It’s sad and gratifying to see these great race horses run their races and a few years later you see them in retirement a little bit older. I’m so happy there are farms that take wonderful care of them. Thank you.

Calvin your the Best ! 💓
