The horse should just scratch. Hell...the connections are crazy for racing their horse. WTF are they thinking? Don't they know that the graded stakes this year have been overflowing with competitors? Why the nerve of these smack talking sportsmen.

Losing is not acceptable in this sport. And, by god, if your horse doesn't have less than a 20-1 shot of winning the race then you absolutely must scratch.
The consequences if you race your horse? People on an internet message board will laugh at you.
