Default Mafaaz moving to McLaughlin’s barn
But who's running the show? The connections, or McLaughlin?

You decide

He just pm'd me. He is really pulling for His Greatness on Saturday at Kee. That's his 2nd Derby horse. Hoss loved the way he ran in The Rebel.

They really should have sent him to a claiming trainer.

I'm sure I've seen it happen but I can't quite give you a name. Bugger. Maybe it'll come to me. Part of the problem is they fell down the claiming ranks so it's not like they were constant newsmakers in the U.S. that I remember offhand. I also don't have any of those paid for programs that you can search beyond the stakes races they've placed in.

Do they have one on the Preakness undercard? He should run if there is. It won't be televised so, like a tree falling in the forest, no one will know and any potential embarrassment will be avoided. (Apologies for allowing an ESPN grumble to spill over into a different thread.)

I suppose this shows that not everyone is completely spell bound by throwing their horse into the Kentucky Derby and subsequent Preakness 2 weeks later .
