Tom, This is the first time in a while that I was sober for it.. I need to get back to drinking if this is how it works

This is all because it was Servis. Even Mott agrees they weren’t right. This was a joke.

Serling ( and all the others that lazily tossed out Max) needed a bail out. Of course, they took it.

Duh.

Don't look for perfection when you ask horses to run on a very slippery track (with about 20 other horses.) Having this pig be called the winner of our biggest, most important, race is the punishment that we will all now have to live with. There is one reason to take the winner of yesterday's race down. That is, if it was obvious that another horse would have won (without the foul.)


Full Stop.

All any of the other so-called great horses had do to win was be ahead of CH.
Not of them could do that.

The eventual winner was the TFUS LP top ranked horse and they predicted fast pace.

I already put a note in my Derby 2020 Folder titles Lesson Learned.

right call wrong decision, is the way I see it. You cant blame the connections of Country House for being gifted a KY Derby. But this is something you really can't gloat about
