Do you think that maybe he suffers from feelings of inadequeacy as the result of feelings of abandonment caused by being taken from his mother too early?

Do you think that maybe he doesnt feel loved and that in turn makes him feel like he is not good enough to be "the real fog" all of the time?

Do you think that maybe he is being resentful towards his trainer because he wanted an extra mint before the race and decides to throw in the towel to show him who is the real boss?



What do you think?
Hmmm ... a ferrrrrry interrr-restink zeory youff got zere.

What's this "the horse wasn't 100%"? They shipped a cripple from coast to coast to run when he was hurt? No sense can be made of that statement.

I can't follow half of the arguments being put forward on behalf of this Fog horse.
