On the Serious Side I would Probably Retire him and Give him to the Ky Horse Park.

I realize he was beaten 22 lengths yesterday - but that was by far his best performance this year ... at least he did some real running through some point in a race for the first time this year. When I saw how close he was to that pace after 4 furlongs were run - I said "if he makes it across the wire at anything more than a walk it's a miracle"

I think it was easily his most encouraging performance this year. He's simply a one-dimensional deep closer who needs to be taken way back early on. If he couldn't run at all anymore - he wouldn't have been able to keep close contact with that rapid pace yesterday.

6 magic beans and one set of Kentucky RocketShip Put-It-Together Yourself instructions.

That's probably as much as you will get for him.

What do you think... run him at Hawthorne or pass?

Would he have a shot?

Others have wondered...


The Hawthorne Gold Cup (gr. II) would be a good spot to let him go back to his normal running style and see if it can wake him up. No one wants to see a good horse, especially a Kentucky Derby winner, go out like this. ~

Yes or no and why, or why not?

The police should adopt her breakdown interrogation method.
