The fuss is that 4k seems crazy for him and honestly some of my personal fuss is I'm having Mr. Umphrey flashbacks now.

He was in the Met Mile. The Met Mile!

Rabbit or not he deserved better than to die on a track somewhere in Pennsylvania running for a few thousand dollars.

I just get really sad when I see horses who had been at a certain level sink this far.

It's my problem and it's reality... it can be a brutal sport on many levels.

Doesn't mean I have to go silently into the night and accept these things without feeling like someone has a knife in my heart.

Okay that was a little overboard but you know what I mean.
