including some on here

I would say most is a better word Playa. I think hes a good horse but wasnt impressed as most of the others on here. Not sure what he ever did to deserve worthy of being a favorite to dominate any division.

He ran a nice BCC, he wasn't overrated, obviously something was wrong with him...Maybe they have figured it out and he runs in the BCC...If he's right, he's run faster than Bernardini has...It's rediculous to call a horse that obviously had talent overrated when he wasn't running back to his previous form...

There is obviously something wrong with him. He didn't work for over a month after his last race. If the horse was fine he would have been working.

With regard to next year, there is practically no chance that the horse will run next year. They may try to run him one more time this year and that will be it. Right now they are obviously trying to see if they can get him sound enough to run in the BC Classic. I think it's the Classic or nothing.

Yes, there is obviously something wrong with the horse, and I would expect to see him in one more race (I'm banking on the Clark), and then they will retire him.

No way should this horse go in the Cigar Mile. Discreet Cat would cook him. I think they should train the horse up to the Clark and then to the Donn.
