And it's true that any person who had any hand in raising or training a horse then feels a measure of personal satisfaction and pride when they run well...but not just at the highest level---I was more excited yesterday when a filly that I bottle fed ran 2nd in a MSW for 3YO. It extends to every level of the sport.
Anyone with even half of a pea brain will not judge Henny based on the BC Sprint. Its quite obvious that something was awry, and that race was a tossout.
