So should we just cancel the race because no horses should be there because there is a chance that a horse can be ruined? Even horses that should be there can get toasted by it (Bellamy Road, Bandini). My grandfather used to say "if you are scared, buy a dog." I think that this horse has earned a shot. In such a subpar year, just about any horse with four legs has earned a shot.
