I wrote this last year and it may well disappear from my website when I finally get time to update it this year. But my opinion has not, and will not, change.
It's not about the scheduling. It's only remotely about the gender. It's all about the way we don't properly prepare horses for a task that good horses can do, and have done. We need to question the practices that have consistently failed to produce real stars, not try to change the game to manufacture stars. |

btw, I, too, was a big-time Sunday Silence fan. I spent much of his 4-year-old summer daydreaming about the upcoming showdown with Easy Goer and Criminal Type at Arlington. I don't remember which of them dropped out first with injury, but I do remember how incredibly disappointed I was.
