What a horrible story! They were still racing him when he could barely walk?????

Ankles the size of softballs?

At least this reader didn't get the impression of any agendas being forwarded here.

I totally agree with you. It's disgraceful that they continued racing him in that condition.

I guess the horses lost during "the killing spree" a few weeks back werent important enough to be treated with this therapy.

i was more supportive of the return before reading this article. if they only wanted him healed up to enjoy retirement, than i think it's a shame they're sending him back to training instead. will they wait til he's too sore to even go in a pasture before they retire him again?

According to Doug O'Neill, Lava Man was not happy being retired. He's happiest when he's on the track. You can hear it in Doug's own words below:

Roger Stein interviews Doug O'Neil on Sunday, December 6

Choose the December 6 archive. O'Neill interview begins about 20 minutes in. Prior to Doug O'Neill, Roger also interviewed Kieran McLaughlan on the December 6 show. Good stuff.
