I agree...the little guy has had a good campaign...and since his throat isn't 100% yet, it's the right thing to do... I do hope we see him back again before too long...Breeders Cup?

That surgery was a blessing in disguise. I have a feeling that those guys would have squeezed the lemon dry.

i like mtb even more on the poly. the surface compliments his running style.

He'll be in that high altitude that puts him in such good condition, too. He won the derby coming off that air. ;)

Now they are talking about the Goodwood at Oak Tree and then the BC. This is a big mistake IMO. He should be given the rest of the year off. Not only that but those euros will hand him his lunch in the BC and his reputation will be further tarnished.

Why should he be given the rest of the year off? The goodwood is another 5-6 weeks away.
