Seriously, people, is it that difficult to spell out I WANT REVENGE?

It's breaking news on ESPN News, but not reason is listed. Hope they carry the press conference.

Interesting. Hopefully the horse is OK. I wonder if he was caught milkshaking the horse.

What a God Damn joke. 9:00 sportscenter and sports center news and not a mention of it (but I didn't honestly expect them to pick the story up). The best is TVG showing a preview of the Derby featuring I want Revenge. Then they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

Oh Yeah, and this really F's up my betting plans.

I think the most likely winner, and the likely runner-up, will be in their stalls when the gates open.

The Bloodhorse article just said a physical problem. I hope the horse is alright.

Yup.

I went from being extremely interested in this race to caring very little.
