What are they waiting for? Granted, Cohen did him no favors and the race was unbettable but the fact they chose this spot over races like the Smarty Jones at Parx last weekend or the Super Derby yesterday should have spoke volumes.
He was best today, but it's tough to get too excited about him going forward. Especially because it's 1/9 they take him back to Dubai this winter and totally ruin him.

You make good points...and as I mentioned, Rick Metee 's comments about him prior to the race were not exactly enthusiastic. Based on this race I would think that he wouldn't go to Dubai.....he is sure not a World Cup horse.
