The ol' boy's in pretty good shape and no one claims a "charity case" for $75k. I too would be horrified if anything bad were to happen to Spooky but I don't see him being "at risk" at this point.
Seventy five thousand is a LOT of dough to drop on an 8yo gelding and there may be some sentiment involved but they have to look at the investment. He's an Inner Track specialist who got a bonus race with the surface switch this weekend. He should go to the Gravesend and then some of the other winter stakes, as he did last season.
