GS Sat not as good as thought??

Well it seems the Donn wont be that good. Premium Tap is out and Chatain might be out to unless he gets a good post

Wow owners must not like those big 2nd and 3rd place checks

EC a no go in the turf Must be because his rabbit cant run!!!

However the Bull looks GREAT with Nobiz,Scat Daddy, and Drums of Thunder all going

i am disgusted, i know barbaro died and it really hit me when i first herd the news, that horse was a champion and a fighter... but horse racing does go on and i was so pumped up about donn day this saturday now im not even sure if i want to go anymore. premium tap is likely out, chatain is likely out of the donn... english channel is also not running... these trainers ducking other horses in my opinion is pathetic, i loved chatain chances against invasor, and now with him and premium tap likely out your looking at something like 1-5 on invasor, a great race turning into just another race in my opinion.

im sorry i did not see this thread.. thats the truth its not a case of me doing this purposley i just read it on drf.com and got so mad i came here to post... im sorry ... did anyone else think chatain had a shot to beat invasor cause i thought he had a huge chance

The connections said after the Hal's Hope they were far from certain about the Donn.

This horse just made his third career start the first week of his 4YO year, and it is the beginning of a long year, perhaps throwing him to the wolves immediately might not be the wisest move. It's a long year and there will be plenty of opportunities.

Oh, and no, he had next to no shot of beating Invasor.

No. I thought he was a horse who would take wise guy money is all. Big deal, he beats Sir Greeley and SNS. Doesnt make him a threat against Invasor.

I thought Premium Tap would have been a great bet in here.

I noticed there's also a G1 Breeders Cup turf event later in Feb. at Gulfstream as well...I can see why maybe English Channel is pointing there.

That is dissapointing about Premium Tap...I think he had a shot if Invasor was using this strictly as a tune-up for Dubai.

EC not running is no big surprise to be honest. Had to figure something was amiss when he has not been working much at all.
