interesting update...

........of particular interest in light of workout videos of Mongolian Groom taken before the Classic. Multiple veterinary sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity say videos shot throughout the week appear to show the horse favoring his left hind leg at the trot.

See complete jog videos from Oct. 31 here and Oct. 26 here. watch........https://www.xbtv.com/video/workout/m...ber-31st-2019/

It’s not an interesting update at all. You’re fishing for something that isn’t there and your crusade is boring at this point.

Multiple vets spoke on the condition of anonymity? How courageous of them. The truth is, multiple horses were scratched by vets BEFORE their races both Friday and Saturday. The vets were overly cautious. How could they scratch multiple horses and miss this one? Internet vets and real ones who have a lot to say sure were quiet before the Classic.

Here’s the real interesting update, where his vet and trainer explain the situation.

There is no fishing and how courageous is it not to do anything? Unfortunately they missed scratching the one horse who broke down in the biggest race of the day for all the world to see. Maybe airing on the side of caution would have been a better idea. You know if you don't give those hate groups ammunition they won't be around. I posted the video so you could decide for yourself. I didn't judge it as I am not qualified and it is interesting and hardly boring unless you don't care about these things.

I’m not sure if you’re confused, obtuse or what....but I was being sarcastic saying the vets that spoke on the condition of anonymity were being courageous. They weren’t.

It’s ignorant to think the vets missed one and even more ignorant to not realize they were overly cautious. They scratched horses trained by the top turf trainers in the US and Europe.

The point, which you’d think someone posting on a horse racing message board would realize is all the precaution in the world cannot stop a bad step. Horses take bad steps.

Are all trainers clean? Of course not. Are all breakdowns a result of a bad step? Again, of course not. There are horses breaking down that should not be because they are running when they should not be. Cleaning up the sport will require minimizing that as much as possible.

I’m unhappy about a lot of things in the sport right now too but parroting nonsense from a hypocrite like Battuello and acting like a team of vets missed a lame horse, while scratching many others is not helping anything but your own ego.
