Good and interesting info. What I'm wondering is whether we've reached the edge of how much we're going to baby thoroughbreds, or if things will get even more ridiculous in the next decade or so..

Scott Lake trained horses work about once every blue moon. It's all about letting them chill - walk and jog them a little - and inject away.

you could probably still get a lot out of today's thoroughbred if you had it from a young age and really developed it to handle a workload.

You can't claim a horse with problems with the sole intention of dropping it and giving it pain killers and whatever performance enhancer and work it more than once or twice between races if at all.

As you know, Lake's barn is packed with claimers. It would be interesting to see stats on barns comprised like his and how often those trainers work their horses.

Ever heard the phrase that things have to get worse before they get better?

Well, I don't think that's accurate anymore, as it's a rare thing these days that actually gets better after worsening more and more.
