BTW- being that I know virtually all the officials at Keeneland, I highly doubt any of them have been clocking this or any other horse nor do they have the ability to pick this horse out of a lineup of 4 horses even if you thew a chestnut and gray in. Therefore that leads me to believe that any info given about this horse by a 'Keeneland official' was second hand info which makes what was reported on tv, third hand info...

Had he broke down over a natural dirt surface you wouldn't have heard any such nonsense on TV.
Kee has some impressive poly PR. When Calculating Man established the track record and fatally broke down after the wire their last year, it wasn't even reported anywhere I saw.

i just remembered the keeneland has a financial interest in that track, other than having paid the bill.
all the more reason to have an official unofficially give the official viewpoint of the officials at the track, who don't want any fingers pointing at the surface. i evidently didn't get enough coffee this morning.

I don't think anyone is going to point fingers at the surface because a horse (or two on Saturday) broke down over it....
They obviously want to make the surface out to be something better than what it is.

right, no one probably would point-yet---i guess keeneland wanted to get a jump on any potential finger-pointing by doing a little of their own. a preemptive finger point if you will...

What do they have to gain by speaking out against it?

Would you put a horse on the track you where partners on, if you thought the horse was hurt. I doubt it.
