Does this taint the Travers?

[Danzig]

some horses are like people, they hate to lose. and some actually pout when they know they didn't win. they're sore losers! lol

the whole thing with getting their confidence back is that horses are herd animals, with an alpha in the herd...everyone else is subordinate to that alpha animal. a horse starts losing, he starts moving himself down the pecking order...so you run against slower, lesser horses, he wins--the lightbulb (hopefully) goes on...'why, i'm the alpha!' is what they hope the horses believes....
