I don’t quite follow the borderline character assassinations of the gentlemen you mentioned.
Because their stance is “equal footing” (excuse the poor pun) for race horses, you take it as a personal attack on your stables edge and / or belief system.
Your study aside; I’ve been around the game all my life and have heard MANY respected trainers speak to the risk of running horses in grabs. This isn’t some conspiracy against blacksmiths, it’s a real concern from people who happen to disagree with yourself / and yet; are just as passionate about our sport.
As far as being pro-whip (I assume from your opening paragraph) I couldn’t disagree more. It’s absolutely barbaric / counterproductive to the potential new fan and has zero place in the modern game imo.
Thanks for the interesting subject.
