I do hope to see BR back because I really liked this horse, but I just don't think that it is going to happen.

Yes, I'm sure you are right because he was supposed to be back a long time ago. They acted like he would be back in a few months after the Travers. Here we are over 10 months later and he only has two 3 furlong works.
A friend of mine saw BM up close in the Travers. He told me that the horse's ankle was all shaved and you could see that they were doing a lot of work on it.
