Another precocious Pletcher trainee that will disappear without any explanation or diagnosis.

What right thing? The horse was fine in the allowance comeback, and had a dreadful post/trip in the FL derby. What is exactly wrong with him that they couldn't regroup and take a look at either the Lexington or IL derby then Preakness? Or give him a few more weeks and maybe the Peter Pan / Belmont route?

To run twice since November, then say he's off the trail because "We're going to take our time with him" sounds all too familiar from that barn. That's all I meant. I would not be surprised if that was the last time we see the horse on the track.

I'll be surprised if he returns at all.

There's a good chance he finishes up the track, but I just wanna see 1 more from him before I totally give up.

Just quoting and pasting this in here too so you guys can give me extra ridicule lol
