Macho Again had as much of a chance to finish 7th or better in the Classic or Dirt Mile as I have to win a VMA on one of those MTV award shows.

If I was connected to the horse ... I would lie about an epic like sickness causing him to miss the race because ducking the race without an excuse would only remind people of how terrible he is on anything that's not dirt. I realize the horse will be a huge bust as a stud no matter what.. but, it's not a gelding or a filly, so the connections have every justifiable right to lie and mislead because doing so is actually to their benefit.

Or maybe they really did get lucky - and the horse got sick - and thus allowing them to miss the BC for the 2nd year in a row.

I'm going to be Lady Gaga for Halloween.
