But the animal broke its leg. And yes the outcome is very significant. It was a risky move by a guy who does care to grasp what has now become a snowballing situation. Right or wrong.
Point taken, but the talk would have been negative too. It would have been about the magic potion he must have to bring a horse back 2 days later and win. So to be fair it really is a no win situation for him.
