5/20 Preakness Recap ATR: Casse, "Rematch can come in Travers"

[jms62]

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?

It’s not really a free shot at $5 million. The owners of the other horses have to put up $5 million also. That’s what I found so strange about what he was suggesting.

LOL. Maximum Security had every chance to run in the Preakness, and War of Will now has the upper hand for 3-year-old champion because he didn't. Why on earth should Casse chase Gary West around for his ridiculous PR stunt?

You tell me you wouldn't take that shot? If someone is going to make an idiotic "PR Stunt" in the national media and I had the horse and I thought I could beat him I certainly would take the FREE SHOT. 3 things can happen

1. He honors it and I win $5 Million
2. He backs out and looks forever to be a fraud
3. I lose my FREE Shot.

Again, not a free shot like Hoss said. And again, why would I care about massaging Gary West's ego? Maximum Security isn't sick or injured, he had his chance to run in the Preakness and passed. I nutted up and ran my horse, and he won. Why on earth should I chase some Derby also-ran around especially now that I'm ahead of him for champion 3-year-old, which is all any of these guys really care about now anyway?

I didn't read Hoss post just read the latest which is yours. Having read Hoss post I have done a 180 and agree with you.
