I just don't get it. This horse is still a maiden & he's #18 on the KY Derby graded earnings list. He ran 3rd to Liasion & Rousing Sermon in the Robert. B. Lewis & even though he ran good today why run him on turf? I know he's been away for 3 months & they probably were looking the get a win & build up his confidence, but the Derby is run on dirt! Do they not want to try to get to Kentucky? His sire Lion Heart was 2nd in the 2004 Ky Derby. I don't know about Cassidy anymore, his winning % has been going down. Oh well, maybe the horse isn't good enough anyway.
