Cannon Shell assured me MA would be there.
I think this was perhaps a well timed cough - and it sounds a lot better than saying "we will skip the race because we can't beat a goat on this surface." Macho Again's non-dirt record is as follows: * 7th beaten 13 lengths at 8/5 odds at Keeneland on poly * 7th beaten 13 lengths behind Adriano in the Spiral at Turfway * 6th beaten 12 lengths at 2/1 odds on the turf in the Woodchopper Stakes at FG.

Good decision by them. No reason to run if you have a dirt horse who can't transfer his form to synthetics

And I am glad that those guys are running for that money. Beats being in the hands of already mega rich casino operators or the elected criminals.

Macho Again had as much of a chance to finish 7th or better in the Classic or Dirt Mile as I have to win a VMA on one of those MTV award shows. If I was connected to the horse ... I would lie about an epic like sickness causing him to miss the race because ducking the race without an excuse would only remind people of how terrible he is on anything that's not dirt. I realize the horse will be a huge bust as a stud no matter what.. but, it's not a gelding or a filly, so the connections have every justifiable right to lie and mislead because doing so is actually to their benefit. Or maybe they really did get lucky - and the horse got sick - and thus allowing them to miss the BC for the 2nd year in a row. I'm going to be Lady Gaga for Halloween.

A cough. LOL. You have to love the bullshit in the game! Just like Point Given stubbed his toe while getting on a plane after his Travers win, shipping back to California. Riiiight. They were really disappointed they couldnt keep him in training and racing instead of whisking off to the shed. I think he started having babies just weeks after his "toe stubbing.". LOL! He did enough.

Why would they lie? What is there to hide with Macho Uno? Why would anyone care?

If you have a filly you planned to keep or a gelding there would be no reason at all to lie. If you have some overrated Grade 1 winning nag who's made almost $2 million - I think it's pretty dumb to do something that would remind anyone that he sucks on synthetic and turf. They overpay for stallions like him.

Any foolish person in there place should run assuming the horse is fine. Any dumb person in there place would say they aren't running because the horse has proven repeatedly that he can't beat anything on the surface. The chances of them being dumb have been ruled out. Either they are very smart - or a well timed cough made them look smart. Any smart person who has a Grade 1 winning 4yo colt with almost $2 million in earnings and a 2nd place finish in the Preakness, Whitney, and Woodward on his resume ... should NEVER say anything about a horse that would make him seem like he can't do something. Take this picture for instance ....  A.) I sure as hell DO NOT own that car. B.) I sure as hell DO NOT know how to fix anything I've got all kinds of clever action photos of me doing stuff I can't do ... in one of the cooler ones I'm welding and fire is shooting up. It's my little brothers job to take them and distribute them to all of the horny 18-to-20 year old girls that like him and his band... and it's kind of worked swimmingly thrice so far. Basically, I'm Macho Again ... my little bro's a smart handler of me ... and 19 year old girls are the people who overpay for Pioneer of the Nile. Saying... "we are not running MA in the Breeders Cup because he's performed very poorly on synthetic and turf" .... is just like saying "You really should hook up with my older brother. He's real good at gambling and is always on the computer. He pretty much sucks at everything else."
