In Sunday's New York Post, Ed Fountaine, who allegedly asked Governor Spitzer
to look into why there was no longer a free lunch in the NYRA press box,listed
the Kentucky Cup at Turfway as one of four possible BC preps for SS.
In Monday's Post, the Ky Cup has been replaced with the Super Derby as one of
the 4 potential preps.
Two of the other preps which were mentioned (Hawthorne Gold Cup, Mass Cap at
Suffolk) would be virtual walkovers which would probably have purses sweetened
with what would amount to appearance money for Nafzger/Tafel.
Do not know if Tafel/Nafzger or the Dubai Brothers are calling the shots now.
The Greatness Committee needs to pay attention lest this great 3YO be
mistakenly characterized as a great horse without proper credentials.
