Yeah, I\'m well aware of his Papa. Of course, the thing with a Gelding is maximize his return. With Funny Cide, they were forced into the Triple Crown in an attempt to win it. This guy has no reason to run the Belmont unless they really think they can win. Its not like they need a Grade I at distance for his stud career, which is a shame. Its always disappointing to see a good race horse that got gelded along the way, though they say its sometimes necessary. I don\'t know about that.

Haskell, West Virginia Derby, Ohio Derby, Pennslyvania Derby. Super Derby. This guy can earn quite a bit.

I hear that - recently I asked pace guys for a morning line on a race (like the one colt neck\'s speed used to offer in their data over at MTH )and got none . as far as the jock blog ,I feel it is relevent and with merit from a handicapping perspective to ponder whether a rider would do something stupid etc
