euro, did you read or hear something about Premium Tap going? After the Woodward, Kimmel said it was unlikely. I don't see that the next race, excuses or not, would be enough to change his mind.

What happened to Don't Get Mad this year?
I figured if anyone loves Churchill, it's this guy. I know his first race back 4th of July weekend was horrible, and I think he may have raced once after that and ran equally bad. Did they retire him?

And I assume the following horses are on the shelf and won't be running:
Buzzards Bay, Deputy Glitters, Sharp Humor, Jazil, Steppenwolfer.

It would be great to have Wilko run. Just to hear some people claim he's still a great horse capable of winning.

It's funny that you asked that... I always thought that Bernardini looked a lot like DGM.

I wonder what they'd put for a headline if a certain closer wins. Underneath it would have to read something on the lines of "'horse for course' Giacomo ends career with perfect record - at Churchill." The world will laugh if Gomez got PD to the wire, but everyone will think the apocolypse is near if this case of de ja vu taps the bank.

Don't Get Mad was retired to stud at his breeder's farm.
