Haskin's piece? He said he was going to write about Miller, who has been a total gentleman about the whole thing. McCarthy showed up at the barn after the Sam Davis and said he was taking the horse away and why should Miller get to win a Gr. III when McCarthy hadn't won one listed as trainer.

Everyone in the racing office at Tampa Bay despises McCarthy and knows what a fraud he is. Miller worked day after day all winter getting General Quarters to calm down and accept instruction. Typical that his reward is to get screwed.

Well ya know what they say, No good deed goes unpunished! I really hate to hear that too.
