bingo....we have a winner. people read way too much into this media crap. that horse has probably 4 to 6 other races to choose from. people don't schedule their horses according to gulfstream anymore...theres tons of options, even there....where they'll make a race just for these horses to run. if they said hes skipping because hes hurt, then it would be a story.
