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.
