[b]But my main point was that the odds of him coming back and competing at a high level are so remote that when weighed against the possibility of something really negative happening it just isnt worth it.B]They are going to try and race the horse again. The worst case scenario is they decide to place the horse in claimers, however distasteful that would be, he is a racehorse, deemed property by the law. If the horse is being well maintained and vetted appropiately they or anyone else that owns him can do what they like with him. Obviously they aren't spending 10's of thousands on stem cell crap to get him in 8k claimers. You and I have a better shot of getting into a car accident then this horse has of breaking down on the track. I really am fascinated by the rousing concern for a horse training for a comeback.

While there is zero chance I would ever have tried this don't you have to support the right for people to do what they would like with there horse? Who was taking there kids to see Lava Man at an old age home anyway???..Most people don't even see there own grandparents never mind a juiced gelding.
