It happens and is extremely unfortunate.

i don't think anyone thinks it's always the trainers fault. however, we all know there are times that trainers enter a horse for a tag, hoping to get rid of said horse. they hope for the best, that it makes it thru the race and someone takes it off their hands so they can get rid of the issue.
