Default I still don't believe it.
I really can't believe that Fresian Fire might run. Maybe the hat is feeling left out with all the RA chatter.

The horse didn't run a step the other day, and if he's sound, why not bring him back? This is LJ's last hurrah, ain't it?

Maybe they were just prepping him in the Derby for the big one.

And why didn't he "run a step"? Horses in good shape usually show up and run. If the injury was bad enough to stop him cold, he should take more than 2 weeks off. If the injury wasn't bad enough to stop him cold, then there's probably something else wrong with him.

I still don't believe it either.

People not only wanted this PLUG before the race but they're looking to make excuses for him after it. Maybe they'll try him again in a similar spot.
