Broke poorly and that was that. This is a horse that has NEVER run when failing to get out and into the race early. Velasquez allowed him to settle rather than rush him up... No interest when asked for run leading one to believe that he simply has to be involved from the outset or he pouts.
Has done this now four times in his career with off the board fiascos in the Clark, Oaklawn H. and Cornhusker, as well as Saturday..

I heard on the simulcast that there was a long delay in the paddock because Master Command had to get a new shoe.

I think it was Mr. Umphrey that needed to be reshod.
