Probably reaching here but....

Dame Dorothy last week and today, Stopchargingmaria, both out of the Phipps. No runner in the Met despite a plethora of options (CE, Liam\'s Map, Protonico, etc...). Those two plus the Manhattan are (as million dollar grade one\'s) part of the enhanced testing.  Granted has two in Manhattan (that is turf though).

Like I said, likely a reach, maybe.

Was going to add that Belmont results lately don\'t exactly help my hypothesis here but you know, if you actually go and look at all his runners (not just PM or the Commish), while nothing like as poor as derby (obviously), they\'re not really any better than his regular, which granted is pretty stellar so just matching his regular could be construed as running quite well.

His current career #\'s: 17% tops, 31% pair, 27% Off, 25% X.  So 48% of the time he gets at least a pair.

Whereas his last 4 years of Belmont results, from 9 runners (I believe basically what encompasses the enhanced testing): 22%, 22%, 22%, 33%. So 44% of the time at least a pair. Given sample size of latter can easily call this a wash, so no worse but also no better.

Maybe I am reaching too far here. And lord knows horses are delicate and can certainly come up with issues at the last minute.  Still...

Where did you see Stopcharging out?

A freelancer from blood horse, Karen M. Johnson, mentioned it on her twitter feed earlier. Should say have also not heard this confirmed from anywhere else (like DRF) as of yet.

Elevated temperature today per a Dave Grening retweet- she\'s out.

This afternoon. Elevated temperature. Grening retweeted a Karen Johnson tweet basically quoting Pletcher.

Edit: at least I got the show spot!

Am fairly certain Karen Johnson is P.G. Johnson\'s daughter.  Likely has more street creds than a random freelancer.

Was going to chime in, but yes, that\'s her.

And... where does it say testing protocols are different for those races?
