A scratch because the "all-weather" surface is going to be wet? Really? So the surface is there for horse safety and it's ability to withstand bad weather, and now LM is going to scratch why? Cause the all-weather surface during rain is unsafe? Yep. It's all making sense now.

I got lasik eyes a couple years ago. I could use a new knee, shoulder, and wrist.

Running the horse until he was lame bordered on criminal from the standpoint of the horse's health as well as burning the bettor's money on an animal the connections knew was not right. However, it really is pretty exciting that medicine has come this far and that it will help humans in the future. I can see it now....90 year olds running 2 and half hour marathons..
