Don't worry about who I bet on. That's not germane to this discussion in the least. The point is, anyone who thinks the horse should be taken off the Derby trail because he wasn't sharp today is completely overreacting.

Fine, let's just cut the bull and get to the heart of the matter. Maybe I overreacted with that Derby comment, but whether or not you agree, I don't think THAS ran a very encouraging race. Now maybe he expended energy in the gate because he was fractious, but don't you think he expected a better performance? Yes, I'm not going to apologize for being very disappointed. I expected this horse, even at not quite 100%, to roll - I certainly didn't expect him to fade badly. I'm sure Mott will do the right thing with him, but I can't say that I have the same confidence in the horse that I did going in.
