Honestly, whenever I am criticizing, it's usually the fan in me speaking out. I realize that the trainers are doing what they feel is right. But it does come off as ducking and dodging. Hopefully a mystery contender comes in late and maybe we'll get a race like the Belmont. Although, I'd be just as happy watching Street Sense win a walkover.

No, the current situation of putting the BC over these prestigious races like the Alabama and Travers is driving me absolutely nuts. Like both aren't possible. The Euros still run in the Arc and then worry about the BC and that is like two weeks out and requires shipping. I hope the trainers that are so concerned with getting a "fresh" horse to the BC rather than a well campaigned and fit one get burnt. Invasor won the BC despite the layoff last year, not because of it. With the training decisions this year you'd feel like trainers don't feel that way.
