Betterthancheddar is listed as the 3-1 second choice in the second elimination race, something that seemed all but impossible some three months ago when the same colt finished last in the . “Everybody was down on him,” Coleman said. “In the North America Cup and the in the Meadowlands Pace he didn’t show how good he is. They said, ‘he’s nothing, he’s nothing.’” While some gave up on Betterthancheddar Coleman certainly wasn’t among them. In fact, even when Betterthancheddar was struggling she would tell anyone who listened that this might just be the best horse she ever trained. An Upbeat Coleman After Historic Jug Week “I’ve known all along how much talent this horse has and Double I’ve always said it to the press,” Coleman said. “But he By Bill Finley hasn’t showed it to them.

Or maybe she’ll just win one race or the other. With the hand she has, something good figures to happen. Casie Coleman “To have any horse here, let alone three, is special,” she said. “Both my fillies seem great. They’re both very nice fillies and I think they have as good a shot as anybody. My colt’s got a good shot. You never know; it’s horse racing, but we are going in pretty confident and looks like we could have a little bit of luck.” Coleman won the Jugette last year with Western Silk (Western Terror) but has never won the Jug. Her lone starter in the race came last year when she sent out Kyle Major (Art Major), who broke in his elim and finished last. This year, she may just have the most dangerous horse in the race in Betterthancheddar, who emerged with a victory in the . Coleman and co-owner Steve Calhoun thought so much of their horse and his Cane performance that they decided to spend the $45,000 it took to supple- ment Betterthancheddar to the Jug.
