Default I'll believe it when I see it

The Green Monkey may finally run

In addition to watching Rags to Riches run on Saturday, it is possible that Tabor will also get to see The Green Monkey finally make it to the races. Tabor and his partners shelled out $16 million at the Fasig-Tipton 2-year-olds in training sale at Calder in February 2006 for the son of Forestry-Magical Masquerade, but that horse has had his setbacks and has yet to make it to the races. That could finally come to fruition on Saturday.

"I hope I'm looking forward to it,' Tabor said.

Tabor said he hasn't been preoccupied thinking about when and if The Green Monkey would make it to the races.

"Frankly, I've got plenty of other things to keep me occupied," Tabor said. "It's something you put on the back burner. It's not something you drive yourself crackers with, is it?"

I wish I didn't have plans, I'd be down there in a second otherwise.

There are going to be a ton of people eating crow if this horse runs away and wins by 5. Sometimes it pays to be patient. Who made the rule that horses have to run at a certain age?

I expect him to run well. They wouldn't be entering him if they didn't think he could win.
