Its certainly not a capital crime, and I'm sure its done all the time, but given all the other things that the horse has suffered through, you'd think they'd just relax and start again slowly, from scratch.

That is assuming that a 48.60 work for a horse like Quality Road would be a stressful event. As wound up as he has been recently, letting him stretch his legs was probably the least stressful thing asked of him.
Many trainers work their horses the day they ship long distances. Among them noted Freddy Mo mancrush, Shug.
