I don't think he would be running if anything was wrong. Yes - he's old, but sometimes "elders" get a moment of super energy - I know!! And I hope he does well. It maybe the last time we see him run and it would be so fitting if he can win. (Please Wiz - no derogatory comments! He doesn't deserve them!)

have no idea wth you're talking about! anthony? huh? btw, I own no "boys" lol
and I always have problems when a horse goes down on the track - once again your assumptions are wrong - and you know better - but as I now have the coveted role of "wiz's punching bard", your dumb comments are expected - lol - you always have to fight with someone! just makes folks see you for what you've become
your post was nasty and uncalled for - makes one think you are hoping it happens - and it's really a slap in the face to benny's many many fans - your lack of basic respect simply shows how little you know - you're a gambler - only - not a fan - and certainly not someone who cares about the animals

not hoping anything happens. just not blind to the fact that it probably will and this old bastard should know better then to be running him. but then again he's probably just in a race with the horse to see who can get to the mortuary first.
knowledge has nothing to do with respect, especially where it isn't due. I am a fan and always have been. ju7st not blind to the other aspects of the game. and yes at this point I am a gambler first and a fan second. your point?

Really Wiz - that's a horrible post. Heard they're really not expecting him to win but hope he does as this may be his last race.

Wiz will be thrilled as Ben ran badly.
I find your comments about seniors most disheartening.

benny's healthy but yeah - his age is showing - however, the rail was dead all day so why trevor stayed inside is a mystery - I said it before but while I really like trev as a jock, he and benny are not a good pair - totally out of sync
big crowd - good day - just a crappy drive lol
stronach spending big bucks at laurel - too bad a million or 2 didn't go into pimlico - sal sinatra doesn't get md racing at all - total idiot and not liked at all - all part of the plan to close pimlico which is pretty short sighted as the neighborhood will improve (surrounding ones are)pimlico will hopefully be protected by local gov't as it's so historic and definitely worth preserving

Wiz - I have no idea why. I met him and he's very down to earth and a gentleman. You're just trying to provoke Caitlin! I guess it's difficult to retire - especially when the horse wants to race. I think if we knew what the "problem" was, it would help opinions. My personal thought is he should rest and then hopefully, retire - unless he heals well and really works well for a return. He's been a wonderful horse to follow - and I don't care what you say Wiz! Here's what I thought was a very honest interview from King - even if no one likes the author.
