I'm in accord with Dub's comments below. Ghostzapper was cleary shortening up late against Silver Wagon, who is a decent horse, but not on anyone's world class list and he didn't face Forest Danger in the Met when that one didn't show up. He wasn't gonna run in the Whitney at Saratoga anyway. It was gonna be all weight for age or a negotiated impost somewhere else. On his p.p.'s he clearly had issues and you had to hope for a chance for them to manifest themselves in a race, but at least he won't die on the track (If the reports are legit, which is somewhat debatable.) My regret is not getting a crack at him on a fair track with well intended horses at 10 marks, but at least the charade is over.
