How much can one horse take?

I didn't say wether I liked or disliked the way the horse is being managed. Winning is the name of the game and this horse is certainly doing that. I was just pointing out what the horse was going through and asked when he was going to get a rest.

By asking when the horse would get a rest, you passive agressively stated a dislike for how the horse was being managed. I simply mentioned that you are enpowered to change how he is managed if you so choose.

There was a time where this was the norm.

You couldn't be more off base. You have completely misinterpreted my original post. You are reading something into a post that just isn't there. If I didn't like the way the horse was managed or what was happening in general, then I would be the one asking for the track to step in and scratch. I don't begrudge anybody that is making money at the lowest level of claiming. More power to them.

I asked two questions that were pretty much rhetorical, because nobody on this forum can answer either question unless trainer Michael Thomas is lurking about.

I now regret starting this thread.
