no need to reinforce these alarming and crappy trends of not running horses

That's my feeling, too, though I feel stronger about the 8-week layoff than the 3 career starts. (I may be influenced by my rather large bet on "All others" in KDFW Pool 1 to root for Curlin!)

If CQ or Hard Spun wins, then we know what to expect next year. And it will be awful.
