Union Rags is one of those horses where you really believe deep down he has to be more talented than he's shown this year, but your horseplayer/contrarian mind is more realistic in that he might just be exposed and will always find trouble and continue to burn money.

He never really was all that great in the first place.

I just don't get why every year or two there is a horse that people go gaga over for no real apparent reason. At least no apparent reason to me anyways.

i wonder if it's the increasing distances. perhaps they should take him back to a mile and see what happens.
