"DUBLIN bore out at the break then steadied to avoid the outrider." Emphasis mine.

Indian Charlie (the newsletter) joked for both the Derby and Preakness they were going to either put a fence up or pad the outter rail. No fear, he'll be in the Belmont and people will still be betting him!

It would be interesting to see Dublin go to another trainer, you have to admit he has some talent, if you watch the race and focus on him he was making a hell of a closing run, he quite possibly ran one of the best races today. I think I'd geld him.

It's best for the horse. That's the only reason it's ever done.

The fact that the horse ended up fifth not by a ton after that start would lead me to consider betting him next out. Seriously, has DWL never heard of gate schooling?
