Tale of Ekati to the Jerome

[ateamstupid]

This is why I said I don't agree with anything they've done SINCE the Derby. He did win the Wood (by outstaggering a gutted War Pass), but the decisions after his retreating fourth in the Derby to first go 12 furlongs, then run two more two-turn races, were laughable, IMO.

I obviously don't know whether it was Fipke or Tagg making those calls, but as you yourself said when I brought up - after the Derby - cutting him back, "doesn't it seem as if Tagg always wants his horses to go a distance of ground?"
