and what does mott have to do with it? i posted his comments after the race about his horse to show he has no intention of stopping. i thought some might be interested in his comments.

I thought you directed your post to me because I was the one who suggested (immediately after a race which was incredibly disappointing to me) that Mott pull THAS from the trail. If you weren't, I apologize. In any case, regardless of what I think of the horse, he's going to the Florida Derby. I would be surprised if he ran well because he should have run better than he did yesterday (if I recall, AA had a fever in that bad race he ran)........and now I also question how far he wants to go. He's speedy and doesn't seem all that willing to rate; he was closer to the pace than I hoped he'd be. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but that wasn't the kind of race I expected from the colt at all.
