They also said he was doing much better and was stronger now than before. He ran only two months ago so for the trainer to not have him ready to run a top race speaks volumes about him. I don't buy this excuse at all. Mage probably won't ever win another race because he has a poor trainer. Who uses a historically significant race with a huge purse as a prep when he isn't coming off of an extended layoff.
