Makes perfect sense. Empire Maker was held together with duct tape and almost got there in the Derby...I wouldn't want to see them on Derby raceday I can tell you that.

Look, if you or anyone else wants to say that the wraps going on speaks to his fitness (or lack thereof) and use that as a reason to bet against him, that's fine. I've seen a lot of complete goats look terrific in the paddock. However, many, many people saw this horse in person and I've heard nary a mention of him having physical problems. I saw him in February and he looked fine, especially walking around in a paddock with a horse who did not look well at all (Buddy's Saint). Of course I'd probably have a better chance of diagnosing a deviated septom than an injured equine and I'm no ENT doctor.
