Are you kidding? The Haskell asnt even televised? Everyone wants to talk about the "good of the sport". What would be worse than skipping a $6 million dollar nationally televised race with the best and most well known horse in the country because another horse lost on the surface the year before? it is ridiclous that people make the assertion that no one else would have run in these races with her. Hell most everyone thought that she would have won the Derby, what is the big stretch? Wayne Lukas has run a lot of fillies against the colts over the years and no one ever swooned about what a sportsman he is. People who believe that they should teach the BC a lesson and skip the race are not seeing the big picture here. The general public wont understand the issues and having our "championship" day be trivialized because the horse everyone wants to see run, not run is a negative. The Breeders Cup is not going away and the way that guys campaign horses these days, the good old days of the fall championship meet at Belmont arent going to be recreated. Hell when people are ducking $5 million dollar races why wouldnt they duck and dive in $1 million dollar ones.
