it's a true dichotomy here-people complain when a horse doesn't run, then they complain when he does. people say 'we understand a horse can lose', and then when one does, he sucks. yeah, that's understanding...

Seriously, I admitted I overreacted to the race by saying that he should be pulled from the trail (but you ignored that and decided to start something this morning for no reason). Why my one comment is such a big deal is beyond me. THAS ran terribly, but if you don't think so, then go pick him for the Florida Derby......or go read Andy's comments since you presumably take him seriously. What does Mott have to do with this anyway? Did you see anyone criticizing his preparation of the horse? I didn't - and I've been posting all along that I had no problem with his race schedule for the colt. It's not on him that his horse ran badly. It's one thing to lose, as probably Mott expected, it's another to run an awful race, which is what THAS did. He didn't show anything at all.
