Todd is a fine horseman(as are many other trainers, hes not the only one) and I think its a disgrace that the trainer/jockey combo couldnt get this horse to settle after having had all this time to try and correct it.
Its not just "some little thing", his rankness can be the difference between 1st place and 2nd or 3rd or off the board in a lotta future races. How much do you take before you make a move to try and find a guy who can get him to relax.
You're acting like this is a shock. hes had MONTHS to try and get him to settle, he can't do it. Time to find someone who can or might.
Ok, I'm a bad guy then, I agree with the owner 100% and would do the same thing.

I not sure why you went off on a tangent but I don't particularly care if he's rank or not. I don't care about this horse and I dont care about the owner and I dont care about his stallion business. But I do care about horse racing, the sport and business. And that being so, I see many more problems being created by those that strictly see it as a "business". The concentration of power into single shedrows is a very troubling sign.
