now, if he's unsound, lame, doesn't want to race and would have to run vs the lowest of the low level claimers, then i can see a reason for outrage. otherwise, it's a racehorse doing what racehorses do.
Right. Sounds like they are doing the right thing with him. From DRF:

"Either he competes at the highest level, or nothing," Kenly said.
