With a couple million bucks in the people's money tied to this horse which went off at 1/20 ($.05-1) wouldn't it have been nice if the betting public had been made aware?

You never see an NFL player with a hangnail not reported.

Can't believe they ran a sick horse (or one that wasn't 100%.). Nuts.

And this is even crazier IMO:

"Big Truck, who ran second to Zito's Fierce Wind in the Sam F. Davis at this track on Feb. 16, will likely not run again until the Derby at Churchill Downs in seven weeks." WTF?
