I did enjoy this quote when asked about Beethoven getting to the Derby: “As conservative as I am, probably not, but we don’t know at this time,” Ward said.

I wonder if he injured himself after his "blistering" work last week?

Ward may have felt he was in danger of eclipsing last year's record of 59 starters and probably decided he was getting overly reckless.
