Your points are valid. I just dont think in this age of treating horses like china dolls we should complain about trainers actually wanting to run their horses.
And what does the fact that the horse is "cheap" have to do with his his soundness. Are cheap horses more or less likely to sustain injury on a quick turnaround?
