@atTheTrack7@RefThatBets@RepoleStable He kinda had his 4yo season compromised at Saratoga if I recall. A win in that train wreck of a race and a BC Classic win and he’s viewed differently.
@RefThatBets@RepoleStable Underrated how? He won 5 races in his career and two grade ones. He was a very good horse, but his overall career was what it was.
Best fix to this Triple Crown debate:
You can run for 2 crowns, The Triple Crown & The Grand Crown
1st Saturday in May = Kentucky Derby
1st Saturday in June = Preakness
1st Saturday in July = Belmont
1st Saturday in August = Travers
1st Saturday in November = The BC Classic
@MarkZinno Why do you think the trainer makes that decision? Last year I doubt Bill Mott didn’t call the shot with Sovereignty. Guessing that came 1/2 a world away.
Translation: We were a 23-1 long-shot to win the Derby and don’t think we would win the shorter track against a horse like Renegade again. So we will preserve our horse’s health — AHEM! “Value” — and get the max we can for future stud fees.
Gutless horse owners have killed this sport. They prioritize money over wins and legacy. She’s not the first, nor the last do this. It’s just destroyed this once insanely popular sport.
So Happy and Mike Smith seriously screwed the chances of several horses right out of the gate, slamming into Danon Bourbon, who then slammed into 4 Litmus Test who then takes out the 3,2, and 1 while Commandment had to drop behind all that bumping
