Me too. she's a bit behind these in figs and experience, but I thought she made a good account of herself and should go forward off of this.
As far as the poop. I won't bet a horse on that alone, but if I have a horse and he/she unloads before getting into the gate, I feel good. Horses can't poop when they are running, only walking or standing. So, you either poop before you get in the gate or after the race when you come back to the groom.
Plus, these aren't people. They pee and poo all the time and they don't eat anything but field crops. Not like big pizzas and spare ribs with beer or anything. Surprising a man can eat all those pizzas and ribs and poo once a day and a horse can eat oats and hay and poo 10 times a day. Go figure.
Look for high tails in the Derby Post Parade.
