He got a paid tuneup today and made some $$ for his owners.
He had to duel another horse eyeball to eyeball, and that stumble at the start probably cost him a bit

I'm not even a Max Security/West fan, but I have a real problem taking people seriously when their spitefulness/resentment psychology is stronger than their sense of FAIRNESS. Actually, I not only can't take them seriously, but I pretty much can't respect them, either.
By any objective standard, Max ran a good race today IMHO. He got beat by a horse who was better on the day, he got some pace compression and couldn't beat it.
