I Feel Badly For......

I read the first post on this thread and realized it was Business as usual. Vic being Vic making everything about Vic. He really isnt a bad race caller but he is clearly the second best out of 2 in his circut and I think that eats him up. If I were to diagnose I would say he has NPD.

Being 2nd best to Trevor is something I agree with and am comfortable with any day of the week and three times on Sunday.

That's like being second best to Carmelo Anthony.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing. Especially if Carmelo tweets in two weeks that the Thunder aren't true champions cause Bosh and Wade were hurt.

Its actually quite hilarious.

I've been thinking a little more about the situation with IHA scratching. Let's say he had not been injured and had run and won the TC yesterday. How many more races do you think we would have gotten out of him? I'd put the over/under at one. It seems pretty clear to me that he was going to be done at the end of the year no matter what and given how infrequently they raced him before the TC, I don't think that he'd have raced more than twice more. I am thinking Travers, BC Classic, retirement. If ANYTHING had gone wrong between the Belmont and the Classic, if they had found a hair out of place, I think they would have retired him. So by my thinking, we were only looking at 1-3 more career races with him. Personally, and this is admittedly a selfish opinion, I'd have rather had one more and would have gladly sacrificed the remaining possible one or two, if it would have meant the chance to see history made. Of course, I would feel totally different if he had broken down during the race. That would have been the worst possible scenario for everyone. But for some reason, my thoughts drifted to Mineshaft and Sightseek. I remember with both of those horses, their connections several times made mention of physical conditions that were detected that told them that their horses were on limited time. I remember specifically being bothered with Frankel talking about how Sightseek only had one more in her and instead of going to the BC, he went to the Beldame. What I'm saying is that if O'Neill and Reddam got together and concluded that the horse could have run in the Belmont but that long term, it wasn't in his best interests, I wish they would have run him because I don't think they had a long term racing interest to protect.
