Title: CC not good enough for Triple Crown
Post by: smithkent on June 07, 2014, 05:59:12 PM
His bombastic owner needs to thank New York City and head back to Topaz Lake- a godforsaken place if you have ever driven by it

The horse was a great story, and a worthy Derby winner

He wasn\'t up to the caliber of the other 12 TC greats, whatever the reason

Congrats to the winner and those who backed him

This might explain it.  Who knows?

He ran a great race considering he raced down inside horses for the first half, a place he isn\'t comfortable, and he was 4 wide around the 2nd turn. He was still trying at the end. The horse is all heart. His owner(s) need some schooling. They should feel blessed to have such a modestly bred yet extremely special horse. He took them father than they had any right imagining. Hope an apology is forthcoming.
