I would tell the owners that he really needs to go to a different trainer.
Mitchell, Dutrow...


YEA RIGHT


I blame the jockey, the track , the weight, everything... and tell the owners how wonderful he came out of the race.

That's what he needs, but the owners got spoiled with 7 grade 1s.

I have mixed feelings... just curious to hear your thoughts.

I see no problem running him, if I owned him I'd look for a different trainer and focus on easier spots and the Calbred stakes.

there's no reason to retire him if he's fit and healthy. they just might have to find more reasonable spots for him. he's not what he once was, but he can still be a good horse. just might not be a gr 1-er anymore.

I think that they will and should continue to run him. Hopefully they will find a few better spots. Throw in the whole poly mess for the BC and it would not suprise me to see him eventually end up there.
