Maybe it's not the same situation but I'm thinking about Winning Colors. I see a situation where he's out there running on the pace again and he's just a tired horse and has nothing left and drops out and when you drop out in this race, there's a long way to go and a lot of lengths to be lost.
i think shackleford has shown steady improvement all spring. i don't buy the bs about too many races either. the derby was 8 weeks after his last start. if he can't handle this current schedule, than i don't want anyone under an impression that this horse is a future stud star. i find that line of reasoning to be one of the biggest detriments to this sport.


and i'll bite....who's the winner?
