The Life


June 7, 2002
One spoiled thoroughbred?
ESPN The Magazine

Bob Baffert and his crew are doing everything and anything to keep War Emblem tan, rested and ready for Saturday's Belmont Stakes. But is all the coddling turning War Emblem into another prima donna spoiled jock? You decide:

1. He's talking about himself in the third horse.

2. He's starting to wear his saddle below his butt.

War Emblem
Call me, we'll do some oats.
3. His stall was featured on MTV's Cribs.

4. He wants to whiten his teeth.

5. He now says horses who work the kid's birthday party circuit are "just trash."

6. He's insisting that his shoes come from Johnston & Murphy.

7. Insists he's a "summer," and that purple silks clash with his mane.

8. Said of Victor Espinoza: "The guy's a nothing. I've been carrying him on my back for years."

9. He thinks Proud Citizen looks exactly like John Elway.

10. He's asked to be called W-Em.

11. He recently told a Maxim reporter, "F#$@ that out-to-pasture s#@! I'm already a stud!"
