Oh he probably does know better. But does he care? Doubt it. Not the first time, this year alone, his favorite in a big race has looked like that.

I think Muth has not lived up to his reputation. His walk did look strange---

There is a video of him in the saddling area on Twitter. He looked dull and walking awkwardly like he was sore.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets retired after that effort because he is a Good Magic colt, and Zedan wants to recoup some money in the breeding shed.
In DRF, Baffert said it was back to the drawing board for Muth. I personally hope he returns as a 4yo with Nysos :lol:

Strong run by Carson's Run, and this son of Cupid adds to his sire's decent record. Cupid is standing in Maryland atm, but I wonder if he may earn a move to someplace like Kentucky. At least he didn't get sold out of the country.

I doubt Cupid moves back to Kentucky off just Carson's Run, but he's a sneaker stallion for sure. I hope he becomes a regional leader where he is now

If he hadn’t already gotten a fair shake in Kentucky, I would say maybe he’d move. But I don’t know if any of the big farms would be cutting in line to take him back. Maryland deserves a nice regional stallion.

With the prominence Maryland used to have in the game, I agree!

I was just wondering what happened to Eagles Flight. He must be as fragile as his brother.

Locked is entered to make his comeback at Keeneland on the 19th in the G-3 Perryville Stakes. Tough tough spot to come back with West Saratoga, Knightsbridge and Book’em Danno all in.

Mirahmadi, who looked fair to go down as one of the biggest money-burners in history after failing four times as the favorite, breaks his maiden by about 10 lengths in start # 9. Looked like a totally different horse from the one who has always either hung or faded. Maybe they began leaving the emasculator laying around his stall. :lol:
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

I thought maybe the announcer was going to give it a Secretariat type call down the stretch but he only won by 10.
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Glad to see he finally won :lol: Interestingly enough, that was only his second attempt at Santa Anita with his first being a 2nd in a stakes race. Maybe he really dislikes Del Mar :D
