however, i hope they both go...and in the current climate, i expect to see more racing rather than less. horses aren't commanding the stud fees they used to for one..and these horses don't have much separating them at this point. winning another classic, should animal kingdom or shackleford manage it, would be a huge boost for them when it comes time for them to retire. typically, when the breeding business takes a hit, like it has been recently, horses run longer. real quiet, silver charm and the like ran at four. then, when business boomed, they couldn't get them to the shed quickly enough. any time you see more racing rather than less, it's a good thing. these horses can handle it, it's the trainers who shy away. also, shackleford evidently flourished after the derby-he apparently needed the race. he didn't quite hang in there in fla, or in ky-but look at how he ran in baltimore. |

![]() If my horse was healthy, especially in a year like this one, I'm going to the Belmont. It's the Belmont, what a cool race to win... it's not like passing the Belmont guarantees you a healthy and fast horse come Travers Day.
