sorry to hear this, but, for me it will be a much better betting race now. I liked ESK but was not looking forward to betting 2:1 in a 20 horse field.

I was really looking forward to betting him at 2-1. That would have been a huge overlay in my opinion. Now the race is wide open.

I am particularly sad as I think this horse may have been something special and now we may never know.

Dosnt this make it more likely that more than 1 filly going to the derby? Or does it make sense for the top 3 to cross enter and wait for the draw and then coose the best shot. After all they have invested isnt the extra money a good hedge for them

[pmacdaddy]

That sucks.

So much for getting a better price on the horse's now that Esky's out.

Ditto. However I don't think it makes the race wide open, it just drops the odds on L@L and Sid'sCandy.

The filly Devil May Care will be entered in both races, owner John Greathouse said Sunday afternoon.

Good point, pace scenario just seems against him.
