Do you really think they are going to be happy watching their million dollar babies out there spinning their wheels? What do you think is going to happen out there when all of those Cali Speedballs are tanking, you think owners are going to be happy. Sure, they may have a healthy horse, that is not earning anything. What Kee has done is essentially made itself a training track and that trend will continue. I don't think that was their intention.

Speed horses CAN win on this stuff. Note the fractions and the odds on the winner.
