Before the race, Barry Irwin said they'll run him in the Arlington Million. He also said they'll run him in a race on a synthetic track before the BC Classic, but he didn't specify which race.

From Twitter...

Irwin: We want to be champion & will probably have to look at the Travers.

Irwin: I really thought we were going to win the Belmont. Losing changed things.

Teresa Genaro posting those.

Yet he told Bob Costas the chances of winning yesterday weren't good because of the track.

Somebody get him a Midol.

He is sick of weathermen like Jim Cantore and Al Roker lying to him about the weather

Thumbs down

I thought Irwin came across as a crybaby before the race, yes the track surface stunk, but everyone was in the same boat, his horse ran well despite the horrible start, but he just had an a-hole smugness in the interview, here's hoping Banned beats him in the Secretariat, he's just hard to cheer for.

'Motion said that the timing of those Arlington races is “a good fit” and that he and Barry Irwin, the president of the Team Valor International syndicate that owns Animal Kingdom, must decide whether to run him once or twice between now and the Breeders’ Cup.'



sigh

once or twice...lovely

Not sure about the timing of this article from the NY Dailynews, but it appears Irwin has changed his mind. Also, Johnny V none to happy with Rajiv Maragh:
