A mismanaged horse is more like it, not overrated. They could of just rested him and planned out a 2012 campaign.

Pletcheritis is the leading cause of death in racing

Hopefully, the bloodwork on Stay Thirsty suggests he can still race.

I say he wins the Donn, then 7th in the Met Mile, followed by a bad 3rd in the Whitney and done.

Repole will be so proud.

While I loathe the term boorish mostly because I don't understand the meaning it certainly is becoming such with this Liver BS.

So a colt worth millions that was near death with Liver disease hasn't had weekly liver enzyme monitoring. How fn stupid to they think people are what are we talking about a nickle claimer at Fairmount.

Not like we didn't see this coming...

If he won by 5 it would be "See he's proven himself and has nothing more to accomplish." Since he lost badly, it's bad to liver enzymes.

I agree with you Linny. I'm not a TP fan and I wonder how long Mo would have lasted in another barn. Perhaps there would have been no difference and the liver problem would have still surfaced, but I just wonder.

Good luck to Mo as he takes on new adventures.

they were never planning on running him next year, which is why they ran him where they did.
