Pretty sad that you would take GW dying and say that's proof that it was a bad call. Guess Barbaro's owners were also idiots for running in the Preakness and Go for Wand's owners should lose their licenses for running in the BC since tragic accidents obviously are the result of bad race placement.

You're really in a twist things around mode tonight I see.

On George Washington, I fully understood why they ran him on the dirt the first time, as unlike you I understand enough about breeding to know what it could do to his value, but after his perfect trip non-effort the first year, I felt it was foolish the second time because he was clearly not the horse in 2007 he was in 2006 and more obviously because he had proven not to be effective on the dirt. Putting those two together, and considering how weak the mile turf field was, I felt it made perfect sense to run there.
