a shame that bro derek takes so much heat for his return...he's probably won more $ this year, certainly more races, than the highly esteemed flower alley, among others....not that it matters!
i think bashing of some horses on here has far more to do with geographic location and pedigree than actual effort...
lava man for being a westerner, and by world famous slew city slew
and then invasor, altho based on the east coast, most wouldn't recognize a horse in his bloodlines, and he came from (gasp) south america. no blueblood there either.
tis a shame, the horses have no clue where they are, or where they came from. it'd be nice if a horse got some props for winning, instead of getting bashed almost immediately because he's not legit...or first race back, a horse is rank, oh he must be a fraud. yeah, tell that to the owners accountant!
every horse loses, EVERY horse. what, two horses have retired as undefeated champs in the last century and a half...i guess every other horse out there is a fraud, since every other horse has a loss--or no doubt will.
