I wondered beforehand if McKelvey really should run in the race this year. I know he was a gallant second last year, but he was hurt after that and his two come-back races this year were dreadful. In 2007, he came in off of a win in a hurdle race, but this time in came in after running a miserable last in a similar race. Had the feeling he was telling his folks that he wasn't quite ready for the big time yet and they weren't listening.
