"Clears it Up?" How? Now he is saying that he needed to use this horse in the first part and he had nothing left at a mile? That the horse slipped at the start? You believe that? Look at 2007, Rags goes to her knees at the start. Rags wins. The start wasn't bad at all. He got checked, settled and then pushed Anak Nakal out of the way to get outside. On the backside he settled well. Obviously, BB didn't respond to KD's urging. KD then gave up. He tells you at the end. It isn't about the horse, he says "I was hopeful to become an immortal in the game, and an historical name in the game, but you know what, I'm not done yet. I'm not going anywhere." It is about him. This is the same guy that said, and I heard him, "missing the triple crown with Real Quiet wasn't nearly as upsetting as missing the Saratoga riding title last season." He's already an immortal to some of us. I'll never forget what an a@@ he is.
