DrugS,

This nonsense strikes a raw nerve with me. I go to the Undertack show at OBS every year. There are, MAYBE, one or two trainers there that take the time to be there in person to watch how the horses perform undertack, form, efficiency of movement, natural stride, how the gallop out, etc. - all of the nuances and idiosyncracies that can only be observed "real time" with a keen eye.

Compared with the bus loads of trainers/buyer agents that show up the day before the sale,sit in the video room all day and compare times. Maybe they don't need to work as hard as the dedicated few, but I know who is going represent me.
