Remember Banshee Breeze? She never needed them either, but ran in them as a precaution. Since Nafzger is on all our radar now, pay close attention to how many go postward in those front bandages. Not a toss-out reason when it comes to him.

I remember bandages on Mayo on the Side, Carmandia, Eurosilver, Santana Strings, Softly, Atlas Valley, so many more all wore bandages when sent postward by Nafzger.

Banshee Breeze was a VERY sore going horse. But, good horses can run through soreness.

Ain't they all?

I do know she was pretty good early in her career and the bandages were just part of Nafzger's routine. Before she ran in the BC, however, I saw her standing in an ice tub 'bout up to her shoulders; knew then those bandages were a good idea.

And I'm not sure, but is Nafzger really a "train through" kinda guy like the old schoolers (and Lukas) are?
