I'm not suggesting anything is Fixed.... at all. My personal opinion is that there are far to many inquires to begin with, and that racing is a tough racket, and horses are wild animals and shit happens and we should let it happen.
Isn't it the same racing experts who always remind us
- We are the only athletes who are followed around by an ambulance?
- We take our life in out hands everytime we get up on a mount!
- We are on a 1000 pound animal going 40 MPH while making split second decisions
And trainers.. "he has a lot to learn"... "he's head strong"... so on so on.....
But let one of them move laterally 2 feet and its DISQUALIFIED!....by a State employee. Who may or may not have ever made a wager in his or her life.
Let them run I say. And let it be rough out there...
