Well isn't that exactly what happened at Oaklawn? He was I think working bullets, no word of any problems, and then after the off race it became that the track was the issue. You better believe if he does anything other than win the derby there will be a laundry list of excuses. The lower his finish the longer the list.

It is bad when you start making excuses a month before the race

I really hope he finished like 6th so I can hear how he hated the track

yeah, it's crap...he worked well several times at oaklawn, and i think three different times in that article today alone how 'he didn't like the track'...such bs. one of the things they said when they skipped the risen star was that they were happy to stay at oaklawn instead. he loses, so suddenly he doesn't like the track? please!

i don't like the waffling by this group-i like the horse, but his people are getting on my nerves.

they always need an excuse-it's crazy. well, maybe he'll make sure they don't need to find one....
