Just tell me, if you're using T-G Sheets to help manage that horse, do you run him back in 3 weeks after that huge number in the Haskell? Regardless of what the horse was telling them, the sheet number said a big bounce was likely, just as he did back in the spring off similar rest. Why not wait a few more weeks for some other race--when is the PA Derby for example--or even wait for Santa Anita? They must have been paid appearance fees as well though I don't know that for sure. That's what I mean by greed--you're making 50 million or something for syndication and you sell him out for a lousy 50K or whatever they got under the table for showing up. Maybe they're not even using sheets, but I find it unlikely that someone on that team wouldn't consult T-G sheets--you couldn't have missed that bounce coming.
