Yeah ... I assumed he was retired ... hard to believe that a well bred son of Storm Cat that won two Classics and was 2nd in the BC Classic would be brought back at all at age 4.

Munnings has a major issue somewhere that they're missing ... he ran a 30 Beyer at CD on Derby day and stopped like he was shot well before the stretch while having inside position just off of a 25 and 50 pace today. I'm not sure he'd win a 5K claimer off the basis of those races. If he doesn't have a big issue ... he's sour as hell. I don't think he was run into the ground.
