i take the opposite view, i prefer not to think that they're being so mercenary about it. i don't know that racing a horse should be viewed as sacrificing him. he doesn't do poorly after shipping, other than actual race day performance (thus far). he was off a few months after shipping to japan and back, but he seemed a tired horse before even going.
he's a racehorse, he's supposed to race. i think really they should be applauded for taking this guy world wide. so few don't when they could, when they should.
