yeah you're right. a mystery illness is the only possible explanation. case closed.

ASide from mystery ailment or going bad during the race, the only other explanation is he got classed down real bad by running inside Curlin for a half. That's possible I guess. But DP is a pretty nice horse. They don't generally quit that bad that early unless there's a reason.

Reminded me of Daheer in the Donn this year.

Divine Park, the Metropolitan Handicap winner, is also nominated to the Whitney, but trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Wednesday that he is leaning toward waiting for the Woodward on Aug. 30.

McLaughlin said he would make a final decision after Divine Park works this weekend.

"We're probably going to go to the Woodward, but he if he works 47, 59, 1:12 he might go in the Whitney," McLaughlin said.

Divine Park has only worked once since beating Commentator in the Met. He was sent to the Mid-Atlantic Equine Clinic earlier this week for a bone scan that didn't reveal any abnormalities.



McLaughlin said Divine Park had missed a couple of works following the Met Mile and had taken a little bit longer than usual to warm up prior to his morning training. McLaughlin said Divine Park was to arrive in Saratoga on Wednesday and train regularly up to the Woodward.




Then he gets beat by 25. And I'm am the one promoting shaky theories?
