She's probably talking about the morning workouts. It's got to be stressful for the horsies to workout in front of thousands of people.

Where does this happen.....and why, pray tell, would that be stressful?

The Oklahoma training track at Toga was pretty busy in the mornings. I've never been at any other track early in the mornings, so I'm only comparing to that one, but one would think that a quieter environment in the mornings would be less stressful for young horses.

In dreams. Because people suck.

There's a handfull of people at the morning works. Maybe Saratoga has a few hundred people....but how that affects the horses in some negative way is beyond me.

I guess having less horses around might be considered better. I wouldn't know for sure.

It probably depends on the horse and how they react to other horses in close proximity. I have no clue.
