At least those three made some sense. What the hell did they retire Henny Hughes for? McLaughlin was going to run him in the Met Mile and then see if he could stretch out from there. Could have added to his value a ton.

It's a word choice as Dahoss said....When someone supplements and wants to run and belongs there, like she did, then I hope they get paid. I want to see horses run, not screw. He didn't have to run Curlin in the Classic and he did. I'm glad Curlin got Horse of the Year.

you are right. Instead he goes out with that dismal Breeders Cup Sprint.

Perhaps the fact he was limping after the race may have had something to do with it?
