Unfortunate the West’s would rather run in Saudi Arabia than the Pegasus against a real challenger.

They must need the money

Looking at that Pegasus field Maximum Security would have been tough to beat there as main speed. Turf race looks fun.

I've seen the future, and it's not too inspiring.

How do they come up with the invite list? Was Performer excluded or do the connections have no interest running in the Pegasus?

They have no children and are VERY charitable people. Maybe Servis wants the easy cake? It's a lot of easy money and Saudi is beautiful this time of year

Kind of easy to be charitable when you’re a billionaire, no? Not that it has anything to do with my post.

They’ve been VERY careful with him since the Derby, protecting him, running him in spots where he can’t lose (but did.)

I guess the fan in me would rather see them take on a legitimate contender than run in Saudi Arabia against no one, but I’m crazy that way.

Looking at the horses with that race as a possibility, aren’t McKinzie and Gift Box both better than Omaha Beach? Unless you’re talking about a horse other than OB in the Pegasus.

That said, I really would have liked to see Omaha Beach and Maximum Security face off.

They are giving away their entire net worth. I would love to see the horse stay in States and race here, and who the hell wants to support a race that is sure to alienate the handicap division for us further? West seems to be a complicated guy many love him and many not so much...takes all types

I think everyone would love to see Omaha Beach and Maximum Security race and hopefully it happens. I don't think MS is ducking OB. Why would he have to? Its all about money. Its always about money.

Hopefully it happens? This is Omaha Beach's last race.

McKinzie would need every bit of Baffert magic to be close to Omaha Beach IMO and Gift Box couldn’t warm him up.

So what is your point other than the usual straddle both sides of the fence? Do you have one?

Why did they duck the Preakness, Belmont, Travers, etc?

The West’s are billionaires. Money isn’t their motivation IMO. They certainly wouldn’t have run him for 16k if it was.

The guy is a polarizing figure, a jerk that pisses a community off and a guy who does wonderful things for the community. Who the heck would want to go to Saudi other than a trainer looking for a huge payday or guy who is still pissed his 16 claimer didn't win the derby
