I can’t believe they are using the “spiked a temp” after training excuse when something was up all week. I still think they’ve been babying a foot issue.

This derby is WILD. Seeing swirling rumors about a bone bruise on a key player. Seeing both forte and verifying mentioned. Forte stumbled galloping this morning and verifying took that unmanned tour of the track. I guess it could be anyone

Saffie suspended indefinitely at all CDI tracks. They must’ve found d something. I bet they pushed the necropsies up.

I was right… as soon as Mandarin Hero in-line, they scratched them with a quickness.

I can barely keep up with everything. Dale was right when he said a few wouldn’t be running :lol;

Was looking thru Youtube videos at some previous races and ran across the broadcast videos of Secretariat's TC runs. Every damn time I watch those I still can't believe the moves he made.

That move in the Preakness at the top of the back stretch was just so unbelievable.

Geeze I hope we dont have a live broadcast of a tragedy Saturday. All this drama has me thinking about Eight Belles.

There is a point that can be made 60-70s might have been the peak for American TB as a breed, but Japan gets similar horses that can hit those times at distance with the more traditional bloodlines. I think there is a pretty established correlation between yearling sales blowing up and decline in soundness and stamina. It should be noted, Japan’s top young horses usually sale before weaning so I think have fewer things done to them to get sales ready.

At least unbridled’s song has been dead long enough to not be the sire of any.

Yep. We no longer breed to race, we breed to sell

Fast times at 2 year old sales no matter the cost.

I don’t think it is a coincidence that a horse that was never prepped for sale was one of the few in past decades that raced pretty regularly from early 2 through early 6 without any major issue.

Plus, Japan saw the value in my favorite horse of all time and he changed their whole breeding program

It's really hard to figure. I don't like Forte at all.
But that's not enough to make $
