Hello Bill,
Glad to hear from you.
I'm not down on Justify at all and he is a good horse. I took the approach that for all the things he had to prove along with odds he was just not worth the risk.
I chose to go with horses that had upside and better odds for the risk. Additionally because of so many unknown factors in this race, which is typical of 3 yr. olds, it was just a recreational race for me. Bottom line is his risk didn't Justify my money.
I also believe he is a special horse but he'll have to get the mud off his feet and do it again to have a seat at table with the greats. Not many go undefeated and only time will tell if he takes his place among the elite. Many a Derby winners have never won another race. If I can see a way of making some money out of his future starts I may take it. Not the case with this race, race prior or after either.
Happy you and you're Dad are there for each other Bill. Glad for you having this winner and hope many more come your way.
