She's running in the Flower Bowl, the next logical spot after the Beverly D. Her fifth start in less than six months. She hardly sits idly in the barn.

You're really ramping up the cynicism these days, Greg. At least selectively that is.

I am not sure you are aware but the horses are skipping racing all over this country, open your eyes.

from baffert, to assumussen, to brown.......from sea to shining sea.

My eyes are wide open, Greg, which you well know. However, taking shots at everything, as you have been doing for the better part of this year, makes you the boy who cried wolf, and thus invalidates your thoughts.

Grand Jete is hardly the poster child for horses that are under-raced. In fact, the two I can think of that fit that bill the most this year, aren't even trained by household names. Those would be Forever Unbridled and Stellar Wind.

Who is Steve Asmussen leaving in the barn....Gun Runner? You must be kidding me.

Blanket accusations tend to get you in trouble.

Last horse to win Foster, Whitney and Woodward?
Mineshaft won 2 of the 3 I believe and the JCGC.

they are called generalizations and I did not know where and when Grand Jete is running, thats why I asked.

I have no idea why you are taking the opposite side...maybe your right and its my perception that horses are skipping preps, lets visit again when we see the fields for these Grade 1 races coming up. Maybe you are right.

You didn't "ask" Greg.

I think keeping good horses out of important races is a problem in the game. However, making generalizations weakens anyone's argument.
