“It’s a very, very tough task to ask a horse to win a grade I off a seven-month layoff, especially a 3-year-old,” said McLaughlin. ...

“Ideally, we would have found a seven-furlong, non-winners of two for (Charitable Man), but this is what we were left with. We could have run him on April 4, but (the Keeneland Polytrack) is a kind surface. We felt like this was a good spot.

“But the main thing is, we wouldn’t have put him in here if we didn’t think he was a very special horse.”

Which leaves the door open, I would think, for a SPECIAL THOROUGHBRED OLYMPICS.
Maybe even have races for SPECIAL trainers and jocks, as well.


Kiaran, the visionary.
