Is Joe Bravo retarded?

I think we need to repose the question and substitute 'Clement' for 'Bravo'.

How many turf fillies does Clement have in the barn that needed a workout today (or tomorrow or yesterday)? Think he might've entered one of them and given it a nice speed drill for 4 or 6F? By doing so he also ensures an honest pace and that his horse won't be at a huge disadvantage and have to be abused.

I'm sure the connections of Criticism appreciated it, however.

Bravo is clearly challenged, I agree, but, under the circumstances, he did all he could.

I'm hoping you are being facetious, but I don't think you are.

Therefore.

Let the frickin thing run! You think letting her go 51.3 instead of 53 would drain her more than fighting with her and getting her in tight and taking up every furlong or so would?
