I'm not in the industry. Maybe a 4f workout is a really big deal.

What I find stupid about this rule isn't what the work could potentially take out of a horse. It's the fact that 4 furlongs might not be enough to get him fit enough to avoid another poor performance.
Forcing a trainer to work EXACTLY a 1/2 mile makes no sense to me.
