Even if he was yellow he could still pick up a nice 2nd place check in a grade 1. I think its legit.

A second place check to these people would be about as important as me finding a penny on the sidewalk. If u have read the comments from the trainer all summer, he's let it clearly be known that he was not looking forward to facing Bernardini. This fear is far from sudden.

Man I find this pretty disappointing.
Musta been one hell of a fever, because missing two days training with a fit horse 9-10 days before a race isn't usually a very big deal. Call me skeptical.

they want him at his best, if he's not i wouldn't run him either. timing is everything.
