Good question... you ship a horse in and it appears that your horse can go at 3/4 speed and still win and you scratch him? I was trying to think of possible reasons why the horse wouldn't win (see earlier question) and the only reason he shouldn't have won that race is if he went down... either Beattie didn't want to take that chance on that crappy track or?... your guess is as good as mine
