Can u imagine the interest in the Travers if he'd won and run? Or the match of an undefeated TC winner against Curlin in the BC Classic?

Tom,
media attention now IS negative. That is what I have been saying all along. That the mainstream media covers every event looking for an issue to make into a story. They cover all events like that and horseracing isnt immune to it. When the supposed house guys like Moss and Bailey make statements like they have made after the derby and today what can we expect. What if he won the race and went lame afterwards? then the media would be talking about how they must have doped him up to get him through the race. Or if they decide to retire him after winning? What good is that? Horseracing should learn from baseball. Just ignore the bad publicity and move on like nothing happened. Look at all the bad stuff that has happened to that sport and yet they roll right along.

Yep - you couldn't be more correct. The negative media will find something to pick apart about every thing.

That was one hell of a 'foregone conclusion'...

I love the fact that Dutrow had to eat his words. The Karma Police arrested that man, he talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio...

Congrats to Nick Zito and connections on playing the spoiler, again. Had BB have earned those TC victories against last year's crop, I'd have rooted for him today. I was actually in shock when Desormeux was pressing on his horse when others were sitting chilly and gaining.
