I want nothing more but to be able to see him in person, but I just don't think Tagg will ship into that environment, also, with the publicity that Arlington is getting for breakdowns, which yesterday there were one serious one, and another that was vanned off.....Too many negatives IMO

You are probably correct. The weather is strike one, but the breakdown thing is strikes 2 and 3. The race at Monmouth is still a good race for him and the owners probably will be pushing him to the Suburban (at the spa) which could come up light. Definitely no Whitney for him.
Tagg has a very interesting horse though in Lael's Auguri that might find his way into one of these races.
The Big Guy in the barn though is definitely a go for the Secretariat. He is back to being sharp as ever.
