You of all people should know and understand that some horses simply do not ship well.

I would expect more from someone of your knowledge and stature to knock a horse like him....
omg i can't wait for the 3rd post you make here because you're getting progressively more bitter.

No bitterness Brian. He didn't win....plain and simple. Whether it was an off day, the shipping, no lasix or the simple fact that he was most likely outclassed...it is what it is. He will race again soon and I will root for him just as hard then, as I did today.

Actually, I thought he'd run better than he did. I thought that Lava Man would do better too. But I certainly thought EC would be in the top half, if not crashing the exotics.

This was one of the days I really liked him.

I talked to Gander this morning and told him that Admire Moon scared me a great deal.

For him to back up like he did...kinda makes me think something happened. Trapped...etc..

Bethani was kind enough to let me hear the race call on her computer from over my cell phone. She said he was a bit rank, as he has a tendency to be...and like she said...you can't race like that over there...those horses are too good.

Even if it does come back thay maybe he trapped or something of the sort, I am not foolish enough to think he was good enough for those horses.


Like I said...he lost...so it is what it is...

I don't think he's the classiest horse in there, but I think he (on paper) should have run better than he did. I don't think he was THAT outclassed to run how he did. I think his class was among the better ones in there honestly. For me, it will be a tossout.

We shall see...hope they point him back for a defense of his Woodford Reserve on Derby Day.
