Isn't he technically still undefeated though? Just with 1 less race? Just curious :?:
Is it winning if you cheat?!?
Justify is probably the most valuable animal in the world. I don’t think they care if they cheated to win. It’s sad but true.

Well if you think he'll be around much longer breeding 300 mares a year you're mistaken. So he must not be that valuable to his connections

maybe that poster meant "undefeated thru their TC win"? my best guess.

I think his book is over 300 mares.

Justify as a living creature isn’t valuable to them, his stud fees are. Coolmore can always stand one of his top colts like Storm Boy. Again, I wish it was different but his connections will put the dollar above the horse’s welfare. I already had a bad feeling about Justify’s soundness as I saw a photo of him wearing orthopedic shoes as a six year old.

The question now is will CDI disqualify him from the Derby win? Given his connections, I would not be surprised, if they do. So that would make Good Magic the winner.
I wanna do bad things with you.

Perhaps but is there new news? Looking at Equibase he still is the winner of the 2018 Santa Anita Derby. There have been CHRB meetings since early December, have there not? Has he been DQ’d?

Nope, they went on record back in December....

I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Now he has. No longer undefeated.
