"He was pulling him so hard, Jose made me grab the other rein," said Rehm. "He said, 'He's going to run away from me.' In the test barn, he took one little sip of water and that was it."
Rev, this is so subjective. Its so difficult to know how much more a horse can give at any one time. Some horses do in fact have more. And some run slower when they get hit repeatedly. How they respond to the pressure isn't known until it happens. And Lord knows it wasn't going to happen from Wanderin Boy or the Dr. Pleasures of the world.....NOT a knock on Bernie, but it needs to be seen.
