Greek didnt even put in a run, plus everything went Game's way at his home. We damn well know what happens when Game on Dude runs with all the big boys in one race.

Greek often doesn't put in a run.

Game on Dude had far from an ideal trip in the Classic. I won't crucify him for that one.

I assume you meant "Touch Gold (who won the Belmont Stakes and Haskell) at age 4."

I didn't really remember much about his 4yo form for some reason so I had to refresh my memory. Did he have foot issues that year as well? Not like he had to be ashamed of being anywhere in that Classic field, but he got his start just before July and had a loan GSP in a 4 horse field.

Touch Gold was coupled with Awesome Again and Coronado's Quest in the Classic at age 4, yes.

No sh!t. If you corrected the grammar and syntax of all of my posts, you'd be busy as hell.

It was a knock on Flat Out not being able to win any place not named Belmont Park.

Game on Dude ran as well in the Classic as all Baffert's horses ran that weekend.I always wondered if there was any different stabling requirements for those races ?

No because because of his record his horses overall results this year stand out like a sore thumb. Also emptied my wallet.
