If someone takes a great-performing horse off the track at three and puts him into the shed, they are greedy bastards.
If they take the non-useful horse out of the shed and put the good race horse back on the track to continue to race, they are greedy bastards.
If a horse isn't a top fav for a race he shouldn't be in there.
Fields are too short because everyone is afraid of being beat and pulls their horse. We deserve better - put those longer shots back in there.
If a horse breaks down, it's the connection's fault - they knew the horse was at risk.
Or it's the fault of the dirt. Or the poly. Or the turf. Or the breeding. Or drug abuse.
I forgot this one: if you are one of the top ten horses in the country in your division, you're still nothing but crap if your Beyer is 5 points less than those better, and you don't deserve to race with them!
This sport is so confusing.
