Hmm. Drastically reduces the odds of a rematch, which is a shame because I think that could be good for racing.

Honestly why can’t Maximum Security run in the Belmont? I mean I’m pretty sure I know why but he’s healthy right? It’s not like he’s had a hard campaign.

Is Scuds the racing manager for the West’s?

Maybe West doesn't really want a rematch, just wants to whine about not getting one.

If this horse so great, when does he race again?

Not a fan of West at all however in this case he originally said right after derby Maximum Securities next start is in Haskell. He then made the $5 million dollar challenge. I can't come down on him too hard for not now going to Belmont or being on the fence with Travers...

Servis is stabled at Monmouth and his horse will be training there and I think the Longbranch stakes is the prep for the Haskell on July 20th. I don't think I can remember a horse who ran in both Haskell and Travers and won both. Will have to hope they meet in the BC and Pegasus down the road and hope they both stay healthy.

At this point isn't it up to Casse to enter in a race that Maximum Security is running in for that Free Shot at 5 million bucks?

BINGO!!!!

The whole idea is ludicrous. Those horses He challenged don't need Maximum Security. In fact it is MS who needs them. They will run, earn money and get better while the master bates himself. Run your damn horse or go away!
