The sport has so few good horses that when what might be a good horse scraps he knee we all feel we deserve the information on how he did it when it will heal etc etc. To steal a term from a dear friend..How boorish..

Horses race about six times a year now ... and the press covering racing is about 50 times larger than it once was.

Some of the stuff they'd print in the old days was great ...

Everything will be forgiven in two weeks when the dapples appear. Of course, the double-secret surgery conspiracy theorists will still toe the party line, but they will be dismissed as fringe players. Who will be the first to announce the dapples: Haskin, or Uncle Mo on his facebook page?
