They know that's the case so they don't bother with the lay ups.
BTW, "rumor" is that BC did run down in his left front before his last race (don't know if in a work or his race before). Does anyone remember which hind leg was injured? I don't remember, (didn't pay much attention), but my guess would be diagonal from front left - right hind.
