I think it's the owner who wanted to give him more time, I think Chip was ready to rock and roll with this horse. The owner has been skiddish since the day he went in.
If he is being an overprotective 'daddy' then you can't fault him for that but they at least should have gotten their stories straight about this infamous spot that "magically" appeared this morning. Dr. said it's been there and will be there for quite some time and has no bearing on the horse but the owner said they "found" a spot. Oye
Part of me thinks the owner didn't want to bring this horse down for some whacky sideshow Quater Horse Post Parade Event in defeat.
Too bad I really really think this was his to win.
But as I said, if he's just being overly cautious then you can't fault him for that.
