Frankel runs Leriod with bar shoes to pick up a place check in the BC mile last year. Knows the horse has a foot injury but he and NYRA play the game and dupe the bettor. That horse should have been scratched or run for purse only. That was an ugly thing to do to the bettor. And you're saying the same thing couldn't have been done with Bluegrass Cat in the Travers?
Wake up and smell the coffee. Or if you can't smell the coffee, then smell the money being passed under the table.

everyone knew leroi wasn't at his best last year, anyone who chose to bet him regardless have only themselves to blame.
also, regarding bluegrass, anyone who kept up with the sport in the weeks leading up to the travers knew todd wasn't thrilled with running bluegrass back so quickly after his haskell....anyone could read between the lines.
you're the only one to respond so far that you were skeptical beforehand when you saw the front wraps---my issue is with those who only speak up AFTER, when we should have all 'KNOWN IT ALL ALONG'. easy to say after the fact.
also, like i said above, i've seen horses run with front wraps for the first time and come back to get the trophy and check.
