[quote=cakes44;939844]Yep, pretty sure POE was scratched because they knew he was going to blow the doors off Wise Dan that day and they just felt bad

"making things up"
you just anointed a horse who scratched the day of, a winner, over reigning horse of the year.
racing people are a fickle bunch, you don't run past 3 people gripe. You only run against your own sex, people gripe. You go to the shed at the first sign of an injury, people gripe. You only race at specific distance, people gripe.
the horse has won on multiple surfaces, at multiple distance, AT multiple tracks.
I feel sorry for those of you who knock a horse like this, saying he's not a true great b/c he's not/never been in the BC Classic, i assume you're the same people who gripe when a horse is retired.
these connections are essentially doing us a favor by continuing to run this horse, WHEREVER that may be, people should stop the hating and start the embracing
