Kiaran McLaughlin happened to sit at my table for breakfast in Dubai back in March and we were the only English-speakers at the table, and we were talking about Mr. Fantasy. They had just had a conference call with the West Point folks about his prospects and going forward following the Gotham and he said the following with some slight paraphrasing...
"Owners get Derby fever, and while I understand that, you have to do everything you can to give em the best chances to be successful going forward. It's not easy to have that conversation."
You just know he's gotta be hating every second of it, but if the owners strong arm him and have the fever, what else is he gonna do - I'm sure he's trying.
