Does this pave the way for yet another Pletcher runner???

This maybe for the best. Seemed like the horse was being rushed a bit coming off that layoff.

a bit?!
common sense finally prevails with this horse. they should never have made the attempt; the horse should have been given whatever time he needed to heal. then they could have brought him back at the correct speed. they tried to make an injured horse fit their time table, rather than the other way 'round.

This is great news....
He's one horse that I didn't want to use anywhere on my tickets this Saturday, but would have worried about.

I think this makes room for Atomic Rain, if you can believe that.

I wasn't worried about him and lament that he won't take a reasonable sum of money that Take the Points won't.

Yeah, at least they should have him for the rest of the year.

Dropping like flies, though, aren't they?

Better now than Saturday

[Antitrust32]

it now seems silly that I used to be worried that Dunkirk couldnt get in based on earnings..

and now so many horses have dropped out it wouldnt be surprising to see Dunkirk go off as the 2nd choice or favorite (people like Pletcher).

He's still my pick but I really dont want to bet a 5-1 horse in the Derby

Maybe they finally listened to those that make sense on this board

I've already decided to have a DT "Who's Out, Who's In" Contest about a month before the Derbu next year!
