I really need to thank everyone for the entertainment in this thread and I can only apologize for not doing my part. The highlight? Gotta be the poster who hasn't been here in over five months but blessed us with fifteen ( yeah....I counted ) posts defending the merits of one of the most improbable horses in this year's watered down version of the Kentucky Derby....even going so far as to suggest that he will be a legitimate pace factor. I'll side with " God " in that he is no more likely than last year's last place finisher Cowtown Cat.

I'll miss War Pass and for the obvious reasons I am saddened by what happened. He would most certainly have had his work cut out for him in the Derby but, like him or not, this year's biggest race lost some luster with his defection. And, more than any Derby I can remember, this version needed all the help it could get.
