I'll give you St. Liam, however.

really?
So four roses, stonerside, Ed Evans, William Warren, Ahmed Zayat have no respect for their horseflesh?
Hes 9th in earnings this year, and hes done it with far fewer starters than in previous years.
As far as Indian War Dance goes, I can assure you that the owners wanetd to do that. They are still stuck on him, and stuck good. They claimed him for a bundle at the end of 2003, he earned very little in 2004, didn't race at all in 2005. Toss in the operation cost, and day rate and vet bills and shoes for 3 years, and you got a bad claim, despite the three wins. They wanna win as mush as they can while hes sharp and hopefully lose him.
