Of course I am going along and humoring those who think these races actually mean something other than an opportunity to make money.

Hate that for McCarthy. A nice story whether he had a shot or not. I know he cost me the Pick 4 on Derby day.

Bought for $20K; race record 21-4-7-2; earnings $1.14 million. Not bad.

He's always been a favorite of mine despite what anyone has to say about his owner being a cheapskate and a piker.

If you thought he had no chance in the BC, wouldn't you want him in the starting gate taking other people's money?

I know there's some controversy re the connections but I do like this horse. Sorry he's injured.

The horse was crying out because his owner is an a-hole.

Yes and no. If he (or any other horse) shuts out a horse I think is a legitimate contender for a piece of the trifecta just because they won a "win and you're in" or have the earnings or stakes wins to get in (or whatever "criteria" they use), I don't want to see them in. But if for some reason (running on poly for example) they can't fill a field anyway then I can deal with it
