i was assuming they would enter other horses just to keep her out of the gate, but not run them-surely they weren't actually going to run another horse vs mine that bird? lol that would have been a kick in the pants if their add-in beat the prospective tc winner!!

i'd think for the most part, entering a rabbit won't necessarily oversubscribe a race. and yes, it can hurt a sure front-runner-but the horses all still have a shot rather than what would have happened here, a horse not even able to enter.
