So you're calling Sadler a liar? I read at least 3 articles in Bloodhorse and elsewhere saying he was being sold and the first excuse was the banks were closed on Columbus day...it went downhill from there.

Trainers never lie.

I can just see it now.

The 'buyer' decides to buy Sidney's Candy, he must have it now, on Columbus Day!

Not before Columbus day, but exactly on Columbus Day. When they find out he can't buy SC on Columbus Day, he/they throw a tantrum or get second thoughts, like it's a sign from Allah, and change their mind the next day.

I always thought Columbus was Catholic.

The rumor was that it was a follower of Allah that was interested in buying SC.

But yeah, I hadn't considered that angle!

The whole purchase deal is bizarre and you might have figured it out with the Allah angle.

There probably were and he won't be anywhere but 4th for me. And that's a stretch.
