Kills the price on Dancing Forever, but I am against him too.

I would have bet against both of them if conditions remained the same, now I'm probably laying off this race, unless Frankel pulls a fast one and enters the Chomp.

Hes going to have to turn the plane around pretty quickly if thats the case.
I wonder if he knew the Red Rocks situation before he decided to leave?

Interesting the article mentions that BTN is now the ML favorite when he was the third choice before the scratch, this considering the original second choice is still running.

This is an invitational race thus no rabit for BTN.

It isn't, this race looked interesting at one point but with the scratches has sort of lost its appeal. I'm kind of partial to older horses that keep running so from a rooting standoint I would be happy if Better Talk Now adds another group 1 to his resume.
