Article in yesterdays DRF with his trainer said he is being taken out of training for a while.No reason given.

You need a DRF to view full article, but:

The trainer himself is quoted as saying the horse is at a farm and "on a break" and gave no timetable for his return.

Do they even enter "rabbits" in big races these days? Can't remember the last time I saw one. If they do it will have little to no bearing on the outcome, just gives Mike Smith and Justify a target to run at.

The last one i can remember was shining copper who was used in a rabbit in some graded stakes. It was a joke because that horse is a good horse. I think he actually almost won once when being used as a rabbit.

Maybe im wrong here, but when i think rabbit, I think of a horse thats in there not to win. If someone puts a speed horse in there with the ability to go a distance of ground with justify, it doesnt make that horse a rabbit neccessarily.

There is pretty much no speed other than justify on the probables list. If no one goes with the horse he probably wins, but sometimes horses stop on their own in this race.

I hope Audible and My Boy Jack run, or some hype contender materializes out of the woodwork, anything that can potentially lengthen Bravazo's odds. And I'd love to watch him beat Audible by a nose

Yes... Bravazo will keep running. Horse is a fighter. Might be even better for him if it turns wet

Following the piece, there are some interesting comments. What I believed a few days ago, I still believe...people do care who connections are and what connections decide as it pertains to their horses.


In the past, I've felt differently. When it's my money, only then, do I have the right to an opinion about where my horse goes. And even then, my opinion isn't worth much. I should leave this to my trainer.


But, in the long term, I feel if horses are taken out of the Belmont for one entry by those who own multiple entries this will be seen as this poster noted...manipulation of a Triple Crown.
This is a ridiculous article IMO.

I have a feeling if these owners weren't from China, we wouldn't be reading half the criticisms they've been dealt this TC season.

Audible would DESTROY Justify? Did LoneF write that piece?

You're on a roll with ridiculous posts. Now you're playing the race card?

There's not anything wrong with the HR Nation piece. You may not like the comments that follow, but those shouldn't give you cause to find the piece flawed.

American Pharaoh and Justify's campaigns combined wouldn't be able to hold a candle to the number of comments posted here at PA about Big Brown, Rick Dutrow and Michael Ivarrone et al years ago.

You're dead right on one thing...there is nothing wrong with the article. My apologies. It was the comments section. Again, my mistake.

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

If there are more than 8 entries, then we will not have a TC winner.

Given the early BRIS PPs for the Belmont Stakes, I've eliminated Justify and Audible from the win spot. So hope they both run and take a lot of $$.
