I am all for racing horses when they are ok but you have to admit Gill is cheating and doing it unsafely

most likely the reason you see Gills and his type at track like penn is they must get past the vets get in the race, a guy like a Jacobsen will claim a horse for 20-25 and run em for 5k. You wont see as many break down during a race but you will see just as many disappear because either the NY stewards wont let em get back in a race or they broke down in training, or they just cant run anymore. Rarely do those type trainers horse last from season to season or meet to meet. They know they are holding a "hot potato" and the last one holding is the loser.
