It's all personal opinion on what is sporty. Lukas has run a lot of horses in places others wouldn't dream of and some see that as a good thing and others as poor management.

This was a soft spot...for a lot of money. Once you win the Preakness, it is now UNSPORTING not to try the boys again. That is where everyone is confused. She wasnt put in that spot for the good of the sport, she was put there because she figured to win and it was the biggest race available in the timeframe. And lets not forget that this isnt a trainers call and wouldnt be regardless of who trained the horse. Jackson makes all the decisions.
