For months you have explained to us with total certainty that the horse would run in the VA Derby and the Travers. It now appears that he will do neither. Its why I consider anything other than 1st hand info to be phonier than a three dollar bill.

The VA Derby and the Travers was definitely the original plan. Tagg is arguably the most impossible trainer to figure out in the world because he is very conservative. The horse just made him $60K, which is good money for him, so if Tagg wants more space between races who am I to question the guy. No knock on you Oracle, but anyone who thinks KD is in the league with Showing Up probably should stay out of the horse buying business. Not only is SU a much better horse, but he cost hundreds of thousands less than KD cost. Tagg got Showing Up for 60K.
