Ha. I'd really be bummed if we lost Game On Dude.

I don't like any American horses in that race, Pat.

It's a long ship and the surface doesn't favor dirt horses.

Still a way out, but Game On Dude does seem to have a huge pace edge for now, especially considering the way the race has been run in recent years...we'll see.

Bad news: out 90 days. Good news: not the same injury as the Belmont. We could conceivably see him run in the Dubai World Cup next year if he's on his game enough in the fall.

If he does retire in September, it'd be kind of annoying for Barry to just sell him straight to Japan or Europe. Yeah, I get that it's a business, but you'd think they'd try to stand him in the US before looking overseas.

Hopefully, the pattern won't repeat with a bum rush towards the Breeder's Cup.
