Doesn't mean it was the smart or right thing to do, for him or a horse.

Doesn't make it wrong either. Terrell Owens rushed back from surgery to play in the Super Bowl one year. Chances to make history don't come along every day. You take a moment for granted, as if you'll get another chance and it may never come again. Again, I'm not saying that you go out there knowing that if you do, you are going to die. I'm saying that when you weigh the options, if you have a once in a lifetime opportunity and taking it might mean you have to sacrifice something else later, sometimes it's worth it. Obviously the horses can't talk but I'd like to imagine that if he could, I'll Have Another would have asked to go.
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. Just a personal choice. I'm not going to fault them for the one they made.
