Amen, when I saw that I knew something was up

That wasnt the reason for his bad performance.

I unfortunately was sucked in by this horse and believed he had a future on the Derby Trail. I ws VERY wrong. Whether it was the front wraps or something more sinister or hidden, the horse had NO business backing out of the race as he did on Saturday.

Not sure what his future holds as of now but certainly is not headed to Classics. Plenty of NYB stakes and smaller spots to shoot for however I guess. I felt Summer Doldrums was impressive in Whirlaway but was performance at all heightened by inside bias? Would like comments on that.
