Default ABC news - Green Monkey
Wondering if anyone else saw the clip on the nightly news today on their segment about the Green Monkey costing $16 million and has yet to race... From what they said he was supposed to run this Saturday.... Pretty sad that this horse has turned into a big joke.... Wonder if he would of ran by now had the other highest bidder won. Seems to me that they have put even more pressure on themselves and the horse for waiting so damn long to run him. Just throwing this out there.... and I am sure will regret that I did..lol

I saw the piece. He is not entered for Saturday at Belmont and there was no race for him in the condition book for Saturday.

If you push a young horse too soon you can break that horse, mentally or physically or both. That's what I'm told anyway. That might be the case here. He was the fastest at his 2 yr old under tack sale, I believe. And that may have ruined him.

Sounds like they're just being patient with him.
