Foolish decision and inconsistent with his other recent decisions. I know he couldn't possibly think that Alaazo or Mushka had much chance.........

Maybe he just has lost his confidence with the Saratoga meet. What did he win, something like 27 races last year? And this year hes won 2? Kind of like a HR hitter hitting 60 one year and coming back with only 25 the next, with the same at bats. Makes you wonder.
