That's the spirit!

Don't get me wrong, TC was a pretty nice horse, but man that horse got a lot of hype.

He was handled wrong his entire career. Especially this year. Why was he going 10f on synthetic surfaces? Why was he not running in a race like the Met Mile? The Whitney and Woodward on dirt at 9f also had to be much better then what he ran in. Not saying he would have won any of the aforementioned races anyway, Tizway and Flat Out are good and the filly is OK. Those spots just seem more logical now, and then.

http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...t-Breeders-Cup Tizway out of BC Classic with ligament injury. Crap.

ETA: DRF says he'll be retired to Spendthrift. http://www.drf.com/news/breeders%E2%...sic-due-injury

In other news: The Maryland Jockey Club tweeted that King Leatherbury didn't supplement Ben's Cat for the $100K so he won't be in the BC Turf Sprint. He's going in the Laurel Dash.
