I guess it's easy for me to say because I certainly won't miss him....except to bet against him.

exactly.

I was hoping to bet against this one this year which is my dissapointment in the news. Most of these are a bet-against at anything approaching a classic distance.

Maybe they think they are going to fool someone with his resume over his actual pedigree?
Hes not bad to breed with a solid mare if you want to compete in some ungraded stakes up to a mile and a sixteenth. Maybe breed with a turf mare and with good training, get a decent turf/poly miler for ungraded stakes level races. Thats about it.

His injury when they tried to push him to 9 furlongs and then 10 furlongs along with his need to train in bar shoes , should make him a real bargain.
