I do think he's certainly a better horse than Super Saver, and most likely MTB. I wouldn't say, at least at this point, he's better than Big Brown, Barbaro, or maybe even Street Sense.

IC, I understood what you meant. No harm and I agree. It's not as if he even had a fair chance in the Belmont after the beginning.

Sometimes I take for granted that everyone can think clearly and that I don't need to break down the most simple concepts so that the lowest common denominator can follow along.

How likely is it that all 3 of our classic winners this year return in 2012? Only time will tell, but they seem to feel Animal Kingdom will recover fully if they're aiming for the World Cup. I assume there's no rush to retire Ruler on Ice as a 3yo gelding. Have Shackleford's connections commented on his prospects for a 4yo season?

Darren Rogers' release on Animal Kingdom's injury, surgery, rehab plan and target...
Following surgery, Animal Kingdom 90 days rehab at Fair Hill, first in Team Valor’s barn & then on water treadmill at equine therapy unit. Rehab plans call for Animal Kingdom to rest 4-6 weeks, after which he will walk on water treadmill 90 days. Off 3 months before training. Graham Motion will train Animal Kingdom well into early winter before sending to FL to begin final prep for late March Dubai World Cup. Team Valor's Barry Irwin says it is undecided whether Animal Kingdom will race prior to the Dubai World Cup.
