fron heat? barkley tagg must have seen him the vet must have seen him hell even steve byk mentioned it on atr he seen the horse was more than a little wash-out from the heat. did anyone bring it to the attention of the owners to scratched the horse? was they afraid to ask them or barkley? what a bum
deal for the bettors you cannot see the horse up close on the internet. this is what i'm talking about, nobody cares in these stakes races because of the money. if a horse is out of form coming off lay-off sure they are not 100% fit
but racing them into shape is find . but if a horse has a injury or sick like a fever it takes time, even if medications make them feel ,look and eat better.

If you are talking about the Tampa Bay Derby, Tagg's horse, Big Truck, won.

If you are talking about the Sam F. Davis, Tagg's horse, Big Truck, finished a nice closing second.

What I think you are trying to say, in only the way you can, is that Z Humor for Billy Mott was washed out in the Sam F. Davis.

He wasn't in distress from the heat, his head was gone. He ran a credible race in the FOY in South Florida (just as hot or hotter weather) 8 days after the Sam Davis. If he was in heat distress at Tampa, the Foy would have been a disaster.

Nobody scratches a horse because he is sweating.
