Thanks for agreeing Oracle. It is very stressful having a single horse in a MCL let alone the Derby with three.
The trainer needs to worry about how the horses shipped, making sure the groom or some other security is at the stall at all times, how hot it is in the recieving barn, and a thousand other things on top of managing the actual clients. Only people in that position can possibly know. Even as the purchaser of a horse you get wound up/frazzled when the horse runs. And that is all before the gate opens. Then the trainer needs to try to watch three horses run and worry about injury and a thousand other details so he can explain to the owners who aren't really "watching " the race what has happend and get ready to talk to each jockey.
Crazy day for sure!
