Yeah, all the rest of this **** is peripheral --- the real issue is whether or not Z was 'officially' retired. |
the loss is a loss , nothing more nothing less , she was probably at best 70 % of her max last sat
what is not right would be to rush her back through an accelerated training program just ot make a date with a horse that hasn't missed a day of training since oct
do me a favor steve , take 5 months off from the bike riding , when you are already say in august i'll come down to brooklyn and get you back on the bike so you can make the match race with vinny from queens by dec , i'll put you through double sessions in the brooklyn heat so that you can get into shape for the dec race , i'll work you so hard you'll be pucking up those cannolis , but don't worry come dec you'll be ready as i'm better than assmussen in getting someone to cycle off the bench
