You need counseling Bold Ruler. Horses don't choke. They don't understand that its a pressure filled situatiuon or what not or how much money is on the line. He simply didn't like that course or shipping that day, etc. Whatever it was that was last year. Hes obviously developed into something more. And before you go and get all excited about Showing Up, you might wanna take a look at what Euro's will be in the race.
