Mismanaged 3YOs (645 Views)

I need to keep going back to a Bobby Frankel quote made after the Derby, when he said the purse of the Derby was not large enough considering that "hundreds of millions of dollars worth of horses are ruined chasing it"

With that in mind, here is one man's list of this year's most mismanaged 3YOs:

1) Sweet Catomine-- a black eye for Wygod, Canani and California racing.

2) Going Wild-- expected better judgment from Bob and Beverly Lewis.

3) Rockport Harbor-- owner Rick Porter did what was best for his horse-- taking him off the Triple Crown trail-- but he did it six weeks too late.

4) High Limit-- Frankel has always been known as a great handicapper; as such he should have scratched HL from the Preakness as soon as he was certain that Going Wild was running. Now that we have all seen Mary West on national TV, maybe the West's will allow Frankel to rehabilitate this brilliantly fast colt, placing him in races at distances where he can win.

5) Galloping Grocer-- whoever was responsible for his 3YO campaign, whether it was trainer Schettino or the widow Waldbaum, should be subjected to supertesting.
