He lost the BC Juvenile at 1/5, lost the Ky Derby at 4/5, lost the Preakness at 3/5, and lost the BC Classic at 1/2. I know the two CD losses can be explained away based on track condition, and the Preakness and BC Classic losses can be explained away by Easy Goer's lack of professionalism. Sure you can blame Day for a pair of poor looking rides in those two races, but it was the horse who ducked in at the gap in the Classic, and it was the horse who ran in spots, raced erratic, and appeared to lose focus in those races. Easy Goer was such an overwhelming favorite in those races simply because he was so awesome in all of his other races. He actually ran excellent in defeat in two of the three SS losses as well. Let me say again - I don't view DoC being trained by Carroll as a negative in any way. I think "having the experience of having been through the triple crown with a top horse" is a bit overrated anyway. And in Carroll's case, I guess it came 19 years ago and as an excersize rider. Wasn't Jan Rushton an excersize rider for Shug?
