While its too bad we won't get to see these 3 horses run against each other in the Belmont, will you be complainging if they run in the Travers, or the BC Classic? Or would rather see them all retired or injured and we get to see Circular Quay run against Invasor in the Classic?

With all due respect, what are you talking about? I never said anything about drugs or early retirement. I said this one issue is a disappointment, and there have been many before it. Yes, of course there are other issues that need to be addressed. Yes, there are bigger problems. That doesn't mean this isn't also disappointing.
