If you don't like the way the horse is being managed, you could always pony up and make a claim. This is a tough business for animal lovers to be a fan of. It is far worse when you find a horse running that frequently who isn't winning.
That statement is used quite often around here. Along with the old "I'd take that horse in my stable anytime" whenever anyone is perceived to be badmouthing the horse.

I didn't say wether I liked or disliked the way the horse is being managed. Winning is the name of the game and this horse is certainly doing that. I was just pointing out what the horse was going through and asked when he was going to get a rest.
