The opposite point of view would be that a stressful work (:48+ is a decent move) right on top of another stressful event (longer than normal ship by van no less) is potentially a recipe for disaster. Isn't there a chance he walks off the van with a fever?

Add on top of that any soundness issues probably wouldn't be detected before KY, not to mention the horse reportedly had lacerations sutured from the gate and plane mishaps, and you wonder what's the hurry.

Is the Cigar Mile this weekend?
