Default Declans Moon

Hes in big trouble if he cant do anything in that spot. Ran dead last

Does anyone know if Declans Moon is a bleeder, he just stops so badly when the real running starts

I would imagine he's finished now... unless they want to explore the low level claiming ranks at Mountaineer..

I wonder what they will do with him? Hes obviously not half the horse he was earlier in his career.

This horse has been an overhyped 4 legged trash can since he came back from his injury. His trainer is beyond incompetent (could most likely start a whole thread on how bad a trainer he is/how stupid the man is). He ran the horse way over his head for too long.....there is something very obviously wrong with DM....retire the damn horse...

No doubt, since the injury hes been nothing at all.

I think Ellis put some high expectations on himself hyping the horse as much as he did. I know he was a champion 2 year old, but Declan has had some serious setbacks. To be as high as they still are on the horse is being unrealistic.

He's been running him over his head? The horse has been the favorite in every race he's run in since he came back. In his first race back, he went off at 2-5 and lost by a nose. In the Pat O'Brien, he went off at 3-2. In his next two races, he went off at 5-2. Then today he went off at 4-5.
