Michael Blowen of Old Friends was interviewed on Fox News. He said, very matter-of-factly, that the right call was made.
Some people don't think that Country House is good horse...Why? Why was he at such high odds? Of all of the horses running, he (and Improbable) showed one of the highest speeds run on a wet track. He ran third to Omaha Beach in the Arkansas Derby...not good?
Country House ran well in this 20-horse field. I do hope that they enter him in the Preakness, along with Maximum Security. I'd like to see this match-up again.
