I'm not sure if I do, but it is something to think about. It seems like horses who run for more money don't have as high of a chance of breaking down.

Or maybe the trainers who even have a horse that could run at Saratoga aren't the type that would put one out there that is in danger or hurting.

What are your opinions on this?
