He's got a " mystery injury " written all over him.

Next start? Jerome at Belmont in September.

Honestly, what do you think the chances are he's still around by then?

Truthfully, he has really done enough....

First off the shelf I'd avoid Any Given Saturday...

But then again there's prolly a freak in each direction lol

Nafzger and Wilkes are actually looking into the Rushaway at TP and then the Bluegrass at KEE. These are 2 unbelieveable horsemen who know exactly what they need to do to get this horse to peak May 5th and not a day sooner. This horse has much more foundation than people are giving him credit for.

Maybe that's all true. But I can't see why they're worrying about meeting AGS in the Tampa race. At some point he's going to need to do some hard running. He certainly won't benefit from a soft Rushaway field, will he? That leaves just the BG as a real prep. Also, if memory serves, the Turfway stakes -- both the Rushaway and Lane's End -- often come up with full fields and off tracks, neither would be a good thing for an easy return race for SS>


He'll go into the Rushaway off a 4.5 month layoff. Then he's going to win the Derby in his 3rd start over 5-6 weeks?

Maybe they're right. Maybe the horse is behind schedule. Maybe they're a little too confident. I'd bet on one of the latter two.

I wouldn't be surprised, although I hope that's not the case.

Try a West Coast campaign starting with the Malibu.
