The much maligned Saratoga track knocked this horse out.

That is your opinion. Many others differ with your opinion.

What is your problem that you have to get personal ? I try to respect the right of people on this board to their opinion and I'd like that same respect.

because everything you say is a veiled (or not so veiled) shot at traditional dirt surfaces. well guess what, i don't EVER want to see some polycrap at Saratoga, which is a very safe surface. 2yo's get sore shins galloping on turf, grass, anything, but you feel the need to link it to your personal agenda of promoting polytrack.

it already ruined Del Mar, don't ruin Saratoga too.

You, my friend, are very defensive about a change from a dirt surface. This horse has been knocked out after the Hopeful, Indian Flare's last race was over this track, as was that of Cotton Blossom.

This issue has been raised before, for example, here, before the Hopeful.

del mar - saratoga.... out of the fryin' pan into the fire!

Mayonaise is a nice precocious horse, but he will need to show some stamina - at least 6 furlongs in a race, to earn respect as a racehorse.

that's what Sniper calls him too!

i have confidence he will actually stretch out. Baffert just needs to remember how he acheived that with other precocious types...
