Bad news: out 90 days. Good news: not the same injury as the Belmont. We could conceivably see him run in the Dubai World Cup next year if he's on his game enough in the fall.

If he does retire in September, it'd be kind of annoying for Barry to just sell him straight to Japan or Europe. Yeah, I get that it's a business, but you'd think they'd try to stand him in the US before looking overseas.

Hopefully, the pattern won't repeat with a bum rush towards the Breeder's Cup.

Excuse me Sir but what about when Bullish Luck (applause ) was a spectacular 3rd in his very first run on dirt (and Eeennnn vhhhaaaa ssssourrrr wasn't too terrible)?!

I'm more excited about Smart Falcon, Planteur and Cirrus des Aigles but still... not too damned excited at all.

This is too funny... John Moore might run Xtension in the World Cup instead of the Duty Free cause it's the softer option.

God I hope he does. That would be fantastic!
