I got burned in both Rebels the same way. I almost always make a backup wager in those situations to at least get my money back. Oops.
The trip certainly cost Improbable but it's not like he's not gonna have a dozen more horses to contend with (and perhaps a bad post), a potential hotter pace, and an extra panel and a half in Kentucky. I'm giving him some benefit of the doubt from the layoff but I have one leg off the bandwagon given his sire after seeing that wire hook. I'm not a big workout follower however Haskin and others were practically drooling over his works suggesting he was fit and ready to go.
