Euro so am I but that race is a real red flag. I mean, there is NO explanation for it and I am as puzzled by the lack of effort as anyone. I really don't know what to think at this point. I know what i saw last year, but what i saw last year and what i saw on Saturday were as far apart as you can get.

I will. But he may work at Oklahoma and I won't be able to tell you much if he does.

Are you heading to Churchill for Breeders Cup week? I will be down there watching the horses work so I will give a fool report.

We don't know if there's something wrong with the horse or not. He may have a physical issue. Todd isn't going to tell you if the horse has a tendon, a suspensory, or a bad knee. Most of these trainers keep their mouths shut when it come to these kinds of things. They will only tell you about an injury if they're going to lay the horse up. If a trainer is going to run a horse with an injury, it is not often that they will tell you about it. The reason is because they will get too much grief if the horse runs bad or if the horse gets hurt.

And the betting public be damned.
