I don't have any information or knowledge about Simplification and this incident.
Some feelings of empathy and concern
some apprehension of trainer speak excuses for a horse I feel is a fraud.
Although I have a strong opinion to disagree, a lot of you guys picked or included this horse, and I respect you guys, and one outcome doesn't mean anything. I'm often wrong, even when I feel a horse is extremely dressed up, or down. It's a tough game with moving goal posts. PA mentioned 'psychology' as a factor in handicapping.
I hope Simplification is back to his baseline/peak in a couple weeks or ASAP. He's certainly worked his way into the 3yo crop conversation.
Don't feel this incident is a game changer for the industry or it's politics.
I do feel that the lasix and bleeding issues DO deserve some critical thinking
