This is good stuff. The Belmont Stakes. People never learn. And of course, it's not about the money right? Because these people have plenty of money. Please. It's ALWAYS about the money and the breeding. Why do u think Coolmore retired a perfectly healthy horse to take the place of an unsuccessful George Washington? The writing has been on the wall with this one for a while. After the Belmont, instead of saying they were shooting for even bigger goals, they talked about scaling her back to facing third rate fillies. Then the fever. Then when asked if anything was wrong with her, Pletcher responded with "not yet". Stevie Wonder could see what's going on here. Now this. And we get the infamous "we looked her over and don't see anything wrong". How many times have we read that over the past couple of years before the horse gets a nuclear scan and a very slight infirmity is found and the horse is retired? Nevermind the fact that 99% of horses would show some types of infirmities if they were put under the nuclear scan. If u look hard enough, u can find a reason to retire every horse in training. They will find one for Rags although in reality, they already have one........her value.
