What was asked of this very talented horse was ridiculous. His connections should be ashamed of themselves. If anyone at ESPN had some balls, and could quit whining for a minute about how RA did not come to one of the few horse races they bother to show nowadays, they might have been a little more pointed in addressing the issue.
It is getting unbearable to watch horse racing coverage on TV nowadays. Most of the TVGers are a joke, ESPN is worse and HRTV...zzzzzz (although that is beginning to look good in comparison).

Tector-
No disrespect but it didnt seem like too many people had a problem with QR's appearance in this race before it was run. You posted twice to this thread before the race was run and didnt once question the connections choice of putting QR in the travers. Two industry types (their opinions i greatly respect) on this thread defended the move after it was brought up. In all the threads leading up to the race there were only about 4 people that questioned the move at all.
Are you criticizing the connections now because of something you saw in Quality Road Pre race? Meaning, did the horse obviously not look well and in your opinion should have been scratched?
