I know there are some quotes from Weaver in DRF about this horse.

I know he was sent to the farm but I never heard exactly what was wrong with him...

Here are the quotes from Welsch's article.....



"We gave him a nuclear scan after the Preakness, and while he had no specific fractures he did light up in a few places and needed some time," said trainer George Weaver. "And the time has done him well. He's training like a good horse, and I must admit I have some high ambitions for him this year.

"I'm not sure if he's done enough to run his best race on Wednesday, but I think he's done enough to run very well, and I don't think a one-turn mile should be a problem for him."

To think that there was a actually a point that I thought Greeley's Legacy would finish ahead of Bernardini in the Preakness.

I bet $1 horse for horse with someone and took Greeley's Legacy....and was, of course, supremely confident and ridiculed the other person about Bernardini.

No $100 show bet on Hemingway's Key?

I bet the usual......$200 win, $400 place and $800 show....plus the usual $200 front and back exacta wheel.

You know, the Mike Warren recommended method of play.

At least you only lost $1. Much better than I.

Greeley's Legacy kept swelling up. There really wasnt a sound reason. Weaver decided the only way to stop this was to give him some time off. Apparently, the horse is stronger and the swelling should be a problem this year.
