Oh I get it Pletcher/Shug/Zito/Mott/ etc. aren't running there horses because they don't want them to race for 39k vs. 48k for 2 second level allowance. Now I understand. So is this like a work slow down by toll takers?
Imagine this conversation...." Mr White its your owner Phil X is 123 Laser going to run soon.. Sorry Phil the purse is to small I am just going to charge you 100 a day training and keep him in the stall till Keeneland or worse till Calder re open..Thx Mr White have a great day your training fees and vet expense check is in the mail"
