$500 is not an option. Even numbers $200 through $2000.

I agree. There’s likely zero chance they would have banned a horse aiming for the TC.

Pimlico didn’t ban him. Santa Anita didn’t. Whether the intelligista of the board acknowledge it or not, banning the face of the sport is a ballsy thing to do. |

Damned if you do....damned if you don’t I guess. If they don’t ban, they get criticized. If they do...the timing of it isn’t enough for people.
Tough crowd |

It’s been what — 8 days since the news was reported on Medina Spirit’s failed test? That’s not unreasonable.
And if they made this announcement before the Preakness, how much attention does it take away from that race? And how much does it undermine the Stronachs who determined he would be able to run horses there? Not that NYRA necessarily cares about them but it’s probably not the best idea to rain on the Preakness’ parade for no reason. |

This year, Charlatan, Gamine, Hozier, As Time Goes By, Defunded, and maybe Roadster could have conceivably started. But the one that will hurt the most (if the ban holds) is probably Du Jour, who is primed for the big money in the NY Turf Triple. |

Du Jour might be a pretty nice horse. Not including him in my derby day pick 5 cost me around $3k. |
