I am grateful for the win, but would have been just as happy had Cruzan won, because like a multitude of others, I too had Max over CH. Wasn't a huge ticket, but still lost a $500+ return, but that's ok because had some of them gone down with the possible loss of life or severe injury, what is my loss compared to that? It would have been tragic for the horses and riders and coming on the heels of things at Santa Anita possibly catastrophic for racing on it's biggest day. With 20 horses, I am not sure that the KD is not a tragedy waiting to happen, but maybe that is an over reaction as I think that the incident that I'm sure will live on forever involved maybe 6 or 7 of the 20.
