There's nothing Jackson can do? Come on, you're smarter than that. The trainer can't run him there unless the owner lets him. Yes, he's winning with Curlin, but that doesn't mean Asmussen gets to do whatever he wants. Asmussen works for Jackson; it's not the other way around.

I agree that you can't retire every horse that had an injury. That's not the point here. Here's an expensive yearling that ran a 2008 debut race that suggested he's worth far more than $50K unless he had a hole in him. I suppose you think that the suspicious drop in for a tag and the fact that the horse broke down are purely coincidental.
