He somehow managed to regain momentum, but looked horrible physically in the stretch even as he was getting to the winner.

Based on that and based on the fact that he was now dropping into a $14,000 claimer, I tried to beat him today at 4-5. He lost his action on the turn AGAIN and had to be pulled up.

It might not be serious, but this is an injured horse that has been allowed to run multiple times this meet.

and now i feel bad for cracking a joke before reading the rest of the thread. hope he's ok. who claimed him? hope he gets better treatment from his new owner.
