John,
I haven't thought about gelding him. He's never been "coltish" if you know what I mean.
I gelded Makeitright just because of this. He was too tough to handle.
BDR is just a nice one that needs to run in the right spot.

Oww, I get chills thinking about it.

My nerves are shot!
Trainer said he caught the "nasty" that's going through the barns at Finger Lakes. Didn't eat on Thurs. Now on antibiotics.
Dang all the dampness! Lots of sick horses there.
Jared thought he'd win this one, might be a late scratch.
We'll see how he's doing in the morning.
If he's "in", should be a good one. 6-1 ml.

Thanks Zippy,
He's scratched for today.
Mkae no sense to run him when he's not 100%.
He'll be "in" when he has a chance to win.
I'll let you all know.

Absolutely understandable. No need to rush him if he's not quite ready. There'll be plenty more races down the road. Keep us posted.. I may even be able to be at FL to root him home if his race falls on the right day!(for me)! Good Luck!
