Do people know how to watch a race?

I'm guessing not.

If you think his trip beat him, then clearly you do not.

I've watched the Timely Writer once. His MSW maybe twice. His Champaign once and the BC maybe 3 times.

Try watching the horse, as well as the jockey, when you watch a race.

I've probably watched more races this week than you will watch this month. I don't see a thing besides an empty horse with no excuse. I'm not a Mo hater, but he sucked.

About as stupid a thread to ever grace the board.

If he's healthy, he goes!

If he's healthy he goes. If not they've got Stay Thirsty. How many 2nd stringers ended up winning the derby? A few.

Sometimes second stringers even win the Triple Crown. I don't think they considered Sir Barton to be a bum, he just wasn't supposed to wire the Derby field. They entered him as a rabbit, but nobody bothered to tell the horse.
