I can rub the horse's leg, but I'm not familiar enough with the situation to appreciate the issue he perceives to be there. That's why I hire the trainer in the first case. But if he proposed to run a horse back on one day's race, I'm sure going to have some questions. If he tells me not to worry about it, and the horse breaks down, I think we would have a real problem.
I agree. Do we draw a line though? Two days? Two days once a year? 1 week? And so on. Regardless, I agree.
