Baker and his 'Big Horse' look to win the big one
2009
Overview
\"I opened the catalogue and saw the pedigree of the horse. The mother had won $400,000 and was a very good mare. I saw the horse in the walking ring but never thought we' d be able to afford him. We like to stay in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. When I saw him in the sales ring, I thought he's got to be worth that so I threw up my hand and got him for $14,000. A little while later Wray and Janet Wilson of Thorndale wanted to buy in and I agreed.\" \"So here we are with the rail in the final for $1.5 million. (Driver) Luc (Ouellette) is still with me and I know he'll give The Big Horse a chance. That's all I can ask.\" \"Some people don't like the rail but we won our Burlington Stake division two weeks ago from there. The horse has had some bad racing luck and all I ask Luc is that he gives us a shot in here. Last week he came from off the pace with a big finish pacing his own last half in :54.3. Honestly, if I could I still would not trade him for any other horse in the race. I'm very proud of The Big Horse.\"
