Unknown trainer

Has anyone ever heard of this Fergus Bogle guy in Race 7 @ Gulfstream? Looks like he's only had one starter this year, and none last year. I caught this filly (Saturday Blues) working heads-up with two different horses, but they're both unraced, so no connection to another trainer as far as i can tell. Filly is coming off a best-of-41 bullet (plus another bullet from the gate, previously), so rather interesting...
In a related matter (i guess), does anyone know anything about Baffert's assistant? I'm guessing we'll be looking at him for a while. Hopefully horses will be entered under an assistant's name instead of Baffert's.

Nah, never heard of him, and that motivated me do some research on him ( Fergus Bogle )
for what i see he came into the HR scene in 2009, and haven't race a horse since, i'm not sure about the lay off.
well i wish him luck today and hopefully he'll be around longer now
Fergus Bogle is an old Tommy Proctor assistant trainer. He's been around some decent horses, and used to travel with Snow Top Mountain. From what I can tell he set out in 2009 with a couple horses, and has only won a maiden race since. I also can't find any info on Centaur Racing, the owner, but this horse looks live at the least.
Fergus in the middle. Waiting to gallop a horse...
Racing on turf today at Aqueduct. Contessa has a real sleeper in here who he got from South America via Tampa Bay. Will be double digit price. Post to follow!
Thanks for the update.
#7 Sin Codigo, 12-1
6 yo gelding was a super horse when he was a 3 year old. Undefeated in south America. Got hurt, and came back under new owner just last year and had one dismal performance at Tampa Bay after being off for almost 3 years. Transferred to Contessa and barn says this horse is a handful. Recent works are not eye-catching, by design, and note Junior Alvarado takes the mount for Contessa. May need another race or two, but a wps is a good play and using with the #'s 1 & 9 in exotic plays.
In the 6th---Last time out big loser, #3 Verde Mont, is back and this is a backside play. 4-1 ml and a key over 2/5/10 is my exotic wager.
In the 3rd---Irad on #6 and key 6 over 3/4/7
In the 4th at Gulfstream, if a tri box 2---3---6 does not hit I would be shocked.
Scratched again.
