Default Can I get 2-1?

Will anyone give me 2-1 odds on Street Sense never racing again?

I think he'll race again... although I have heard that he's got a tendon problem (most likely a bow.)

If Street Sense can breeze yesterday morning, galloping out five in 1:01, with a "tendon problem or bow", more power to him.

Especially if they worked a horse whom they weren't sure they were going to enter in a race 10 days later.
Maybe ... the work shows that the horse doesn't have a "tendon problem".

no. it makes more sense to believe gossip on a message board and just assume that the connections are suddenly and uncharacteristically not at all concerned about a horse that has enormous value.

lol they wouldnt need a work to determine if the horse has a bow or not, pretty simple to tell. lord of the game is also a gelding so that has something to do with why he was brought back, they tried again this year with him and failed. if a horse does bow youre looking at atleast 6 months minimum, and with my experience working with racehorses in the past year its only a matter of time before they bow again

lol, I think you'd have the best of it, too! Philski's even money sounds about right to me.

He's going to have 2 months of works before he races again. That's plenty of time for something to happen. And we know it won't take much.
