It's a tremendous disservice to the Moss's they deserve better and so does the mare.

I almost wish Z'd lost the last race by a little bit, and while that sounds blasphemous I'll tell you why, it's because it would get them out of their undefeated protective bubble. I think they're more about trying to do preservation than anything right now, not that it's not understandable. Are we certain she's going in the BC Classic or is everyone just assuming? I mean it's what I would do, but obviously I don't own a glorious mare like that. It's easy to tell someone else what to do with their horse.
