Just a question so inform, don't pounce, ok?
Did you ever notice that the "rabbit" doesn't just set things up for the one that he's in for, but also for all of the others in the race?
Thanks for your views.

I agree that it's not an honest race scenario, just that the "rabbit" can be there for all of the entries.
Remember Spanish Chestnut?

GPK,
I completely agree the scenario of the race is turned upside down with the rabbit however saying racing shouldn't allow it is not right. Over in europe rabbits are constantly used as part of the game and last year we saw the use of 2 rabbits in 1 race for the sole purpose of eliminating 1 horse (last years Woodward). Saying Better Talk Now hasn't proved his ability without a rabbit is untrue also christ he won the BC Turf without one against the likes of Kitten's Joy and Powerscourt. Maybe its just cause I really like the old man I don't know just my take on things.
