What is so great is Pelling still won the race and so did Bowden
Yeah, he might have won the race but no way did he not want Confederate to win. I have been on the Confederate bandwagon, but that effort last night was beyond awful.
Not the way they wanted Confederate to go out.
Pity he's not coming back as a 4yold. That's what is wrong with racing over here is that in both codes, they retire the champs because of the massive dollars they get. It could only be a positive (pardon the pun) if they raced at 4 and 5. The great ones would win millions more. Not what they would get being syndicated to stud but the people that own them are rich from the get-go. You would think some of them would want to keep racing. This sports needs champions that race older. That is one way of attracting more fans and owners.
