They Are Gonna Load the Field Up....No RA?
Just watced HRTV's Race Day American and Ahmed Zayat was interviewed and said that the owner of MTB called and they are going to try and keep the field in the Preakness loaded, to prevent RA to make it. Whitney and Zayat will both enter a horse, and Alan MTB's owner is going to enter one as well.
Alan told Ahmed that he wanted to prove his MTB was not a fluke and knew POTN wanted a rematch. I can understand all this, but it seems to me they are just wanting to side-step RA.
I can see both sides of this.
Thoughts?

If it is true, says a lot for his respect for his own horse. Maybe he knows something we don't about the Derby win?

If this happens it would be in such poor sportmanship!this would be very bad for racing to have this kind of underhanded (albeit within the rules)dirty dealing going on...... racing is supposed to be about the best horse winning...if she wants to try the boys i hope they let her!

I was watching and heard news.
These people have ego's so big they could care less about the fans (Zayat was just relaying the information). Jealousy and envy come to mind as well.
This would be a really weak move to exclude her from the Preakness!

So now the other owners enter or don't based on the whims of MTB's owner?

OR, there will be an outcry that they "ganged up" on the poor girl like Forty Niner did to Winning Colors.
