Joe Trawitzki is a trainer's dream. As an owner, he takes the bad news with the good, he always puts the horse first and of course, he shows up at the barn with two dozen doughnuts in tow.

Now Chad Brown has a lot of horses and DeVaux watched plenty of others that morning. And they were just breezing, after all.
