Unfortunate. I was looking forward to him on the weeds. Hope it's not to bad a problem.

This could be the worst field of horses ever entered for a million dollar race. I bet Mott had wished he held After Market for this.

I'm not a fan of After Market but hard to rule out anybody. Why isn't Brilliant in here?

Brilliant is pointing for the Secretariat at ARL.....nice colt, but I think he best suited at around a mile...

Huge mistake by the Brilliant connections. Both this race and the Secretariat are 10F races, but this one has more money and no Showing Up. I am glad he is going to the Secretariat though because Showing Up should handle him pretty easily at that distance. I would love to see KD and Brilliant go at it at 1M, but they likely have zero shot against the europeans in the BC Mile.
