Default Green Monkey will NOT run at Saratoga

I guess they have been extremely patient with him so far, but until he actually races it is hard to believe another mysterious injury isn't going to occur just in time to get him ready for the shed next spring.

They prob feel that the MSW at Saratoga are too competitive for The Green Monkey. I am sure that the connections do not want to embarrass themselves by getting clobbered at Saratoga.

he sure is a looker...doesn't matter much tho, if he isn't a runner....

can't remember the last time so much news was made about a horse NOT doing something.

You know, more and more I'm rooting for the horse - he can't pick his sales price, or his connections - he's an extremely handsome son of Forestry and I hope he's a runner.

If not, maybe one of us could someday buy him as a gelded saddle horse ....
