What a great idea a class action against NYRA

Okay, let's try and bring this thread back around.

Love Big Brown, or hate Big Brown. Love Casino Drive, or hate Casino Drive. No matter which side of the fence you're on, Casino Drive not running in the race blows.

Spare me the convenient baloney about how Big Brown would have dusted him anyway. Nonsense. It's a horse race, it's not a foregone conclusion. Even if Big Brown wins by 34 lengths tomorrow, you'll never convince me its a foregone conclusion, nor should you think it.

Think of these connections... they made this race infinitely more interesting by brining this horse to America. How often does this happen for our big stage? Not very. They bring him here, he wins his first race like a good thing, gets the juices flowing for a potential Triple Crown showdown with Big Brown, and then boom, the day before the darn horse race, the horse is off.

That sucks.

I really hope he doesn't. . . I was really looking forward to tossing him.

He hasn't been scratched, but either way, it's obviously not ideal.

Thanks, Bob. Good news.

I hope he runs, of course, only if he's 100%.

My post was more figure-of-speech than anything.

I pulled that because I think it was posted earlier in the thread

Not sure if they are just assuming, but Mike and Chris on WFAN keep using the word "out" with CD.

Now that's he's "out" of the race.....
