There's Derby fever and there is being reckless. Running him, in my opinion would have been a little reckless based on what was wrong with him a short while ago, how he looked late in the Lexington, the kind of run he put in and the new surface.

Running him in the Derby probably wouldn't have been in the horse's best interest in the regard of giving him his best chance to win. That much we'll agree on. Whether it was reckless in regards to the horse's safety, we'll disagree on. My concern for his physical safety came in the Lexington. Once he passed that test, I was much less concerned with him making it through the Derby.
