At least he can beat Toby's Corner. This makes the Gotham a key race! LOL

Of course they go. All of the talk will be about how losing was the best thing that could have heppened to him and how much he got from the race. Just wait.

I would still take him head to head with Stay Thirsty for any sum of money.

The last couple weekends have proven this class is bad. I would run anything with the earnings at this point.

You never know, he might've hurt himself. It could've caused the loss or happened when he was trying hard not to lose. These days I don't count on a horse making the Derby til the post parade starts. Something didn't look quite right much farther back than it should've if he was just getting tired. It makes me wonder if, for no other reason than to rule out something physical, they've already booked an x-ray for Mo.

I didn't see him looking absolutely amazing and then hit a distance wall. Who knows what that was all about.

I say why not go forward, I mean it is entirely possible he just threw in a clunker. All sports stars don't have Hall of Fame numbers every time they perform. I'm sure Ted Williams had a few o-4 days in his career.

I say go forward

The higher the stakes and the longer the distances the more this crop is beginning to stink up the joint. With Uncle Mo's showing today I expect full fields for the remaining preps as everyone scrambles to get enough money to make the wide open Derby this year.

Yeah but when the Splinter went 0 for 4, he rarely struck out

Happily, the connections of Secretariat decided to go after something like that.

Do people know how to watch a race?

I'm guessing not.
