I'm wondering when will racing fans start getting tired of our top 3yo's not making it to the end of their 3yo seasons? I know a few of them came back as 4yo's but that's after they couldn't even run anymore as 3yo's. And sure, situations like EM and Point Given are questionable as to whether they were injured or not but the point is, they didn't. Whether it's for economic reasons or injuries or whatever, when is everyone going to be fed up. Last year was an exception. This year, it's back to normal.

As a racing fan I'm tired of it now. BUT, what am I going to do about it? Just keep watching and betting until I run out of money or the sport dies. As a racing fan, what else is there to do???
