Did Coolmore pay people NOT to enter? What September MSW at Belmont draws only six horses? Horses needed stars to get into them at Saratoga.

It'll be interesting to see if he scratches or if he actually runs.

He got outworked by a two year old (Cowboy Cal) out of the gate...Cowboy Cal showed NOTHING in his debut at Saratoga.

well.. just because he costs 16 million dollars... again.. let's go off the facts.

he got outworked by a horse that looked horrible a week or so ago in his debut


when he actually races, he's going to be half a month since he had a work


he's never worked past 5 furlongs, and this is a 6 Furlong race.. and he struggles with 5F


lol you take that money to the window if you want.


go take a look at my thread in the sales section of high priced yearling.. at least 70% of them never see the track, 85% of them never win a race.

I don't want to see any horse fail, I would be very happy if the Green Monkey won, but my biggest concern is to see him come back safe.
