TVG apparently talked to the trainer before the race, and he had said that the horse still likes his job...but that if he didn't do well today, then that would be it for him. No one mentioned that it's entirely possible that TB may have been claimed from this race...and what will new connections do with him?
If someone just spent $40,000 for the horse, I seriously doubt they're going to turn around and send him off to be a pasture pet.
