Showing Up doubtful for BC

I'm just sayin... a lot of people are thinking (seriously we've talked about this a million times over at ESPN in the past)... what's the only thing, if you're Sackatoga, that you haven't changed? If you're refusing to retire him- The last thing you haven't done is a trainer switch. Give the horse to Pletcher... that seems to be the En Vogue thing to do among owners these days anyway lol.

FC is a competitive horse that likes to run. Why should he retire ? ANd the Showing Up strategy is right on. Why ruin a 3 yr old just to pad his resume for stud ?

i really like Tagg and if i could ever get a horse esp a grass one i honestly think he is the one i would want to train them. Im happy to see this and look fwd to seeing the horse next year might be a good one next year

Sumitas,
I agree with Tagg's strategy for Showing Up. Some people earlier in this thread were ripping Sackatogas, so I was just putting in my 2 cents on that. As far as Showing Up goes, I agree with holding him out. Read my previous replies in this thread for my reasoning.

Wac,
Good point about Tagg being a good turf trainer. I 'spose you could go with Pletcher too. Your horse might get tons of TLC from his 6th asst lol.

What a classy guy! It's reasons like these that make him my favorite trainer.
