If these late-season 3-year-olds can shake-out, we might have an interesting set of races. Or it'll be Big Brown versus Macho Again in the Travers. Or, if Big Brown retires, it's Macho Again versus Denis of Cork. Yikes.

The biggest departure(for myself) this year was the retirement of Showing Up. He would have been a big asset to a once again dismal turf division.
It just seems like bad things always happen when talented horses get rushed into the ky derby with no foundation, especially off of 2 weeks rest.
I think the jacksons are great owners and very classy folks, but they really blew it on this horse. I guess having the most the most likely winner of the race and morn line fav for the big race wasn't good enough.
