I should have looked more closely. I looked at the picture and reported back and didn't look at it again. It is clear that those aren't the kind of wraps that I'm used to seeing.
Thanks for the explanation. Can't wait to see the comeback, but I still can't seem to figure out what was wrong with him in the first place. Pletcher doesn't seem the type to just rest for the sake of resting.

Why would anybody look forward to a Pletcher horse coming off a long layoff? He has no history of being good at that. The guy doesn't race his horses very often when they are in training, and once they are out of training...I'll just say good luck with that.

It probably could have been better worded, CJ. I basically said the same thing as you did about Todd in this situation. I only look forward to this horse's comeback from a fan's perspective. I was impressed with his first two goes and I thought we would be seeing a bit more of him than we did.

Yet it seems like he gets the most talented and deepest crop (on paper) every year. I don't get it.

Shocking. Can't wait to see the breeding commercials if true.

23 2yo wins last year at Saratoga with 22 different juveniles getting in the winners circle. Kauai Katie was the only repeat juvy winner, and I believe he started out pretty slow early on with 2yos at Saratoga like 1 for his first 9 or 10 entrants.

I look forward to betting against them. I have three on my bet-against watch list that seem to have disappeared -- anybody know the status of these horses?
Corail - last race I know of was 8/1/12 at Saratoga
Darwin - 10/6/12
Zaikov - Gulfstream 3/15/13

Darwin was transferred to Aidan O'Brien in February. Zaikov had a shin injury in late April.

Thanks, 10-1! Fortunately I don't have an easy way to wager on Irish races so I saved a few euros I would have lost shorting Darwin.

Kauai Katie scratched today, leaving Teen Pauline, another Saratoga grad. She ran rather poorly to say the least.
