If racing is more dangerous for Lava Man because he's nine, wouldn't it be even moreso for 10yo BTN? The worry for people is that Lava Man could POSSIBLY get injured. Well, BTN actually DID get injured. Let's see what kind of negative publicity we get here. I'm guessing there will be none.

Seriously? Better talk Now was never retired due to injuries, announced to be retiring to Old Friends and suddenly 180 degreed back to the track after a years layoff. If BTN's owners decided to do experimental therapy on him and return him to training the same amount of skeptism would greet them as well.
If you fail to see the differences then nothing we post will help you.
