In other words....we finally settled on an excuse to not run a horse that had no shot, and would have devalued himself with his performance.

Yep. I'm an outsider in that regard, who doesn't hear much, but quarter crack or not, the Cigar Mile was always the right spot, with the way both the Dirt Mile and Classic came up. I'm sure Pletcher had to feel that way.

I'm amused by all the people who liked him in the Dirt Mile at what certainly wouldn't have been all that much of a price.

Steve is going to yell at you...

Verrazano draws an excuse.

Old Time Hockey ran second by 2 lengths to Golden Ticket as a 3 year old on dirt. I think he can post a mild upset in the Marathon.

I like him as well.

Great ride by Mike Smith in the Marathon. When he's hot, he's like money in the bank.
