he has not run a credible race since... 7/5/07, and that was against a weak 5 horse field... and before that it was 7/16/06 and that was vs a weak 4 horse field.
i am not knocking the horse, but the fact that he's a gelding does not mean you have to run him forever, hopefully i am wrong and the turf works out for him... i think Tall Texan is a serious horse and declan will have his hands full beating him.

Declan's Moon's race on Thursday is not on the grass. It's on the cushion track. I think the only reason they haven't retired him is because he still works like his old self in the morning. As good as he works, they can't believe that he won't run better. If he doesn't step up with a good effort soon, I think they are going to retire him very soon. They won't run him forever if he continues running like this, and they won't run him for a tag. He was too good to them.
