Buffy may well be right about Takter.Regardless if this horse ever races again and whether you say he's a dog (which he isn't), You keep racing a horse that is sick and with modern medicine the way it is today, you don't make sure he's 100 percent over a virus then you should be criticized.
why are they racing a horse on the front end when they knew he wasnt 100%?
Kinda stupid is it not?I also think there was extreme pressure for him to put up a big mile and to win a big race to ensure he had a good stud career and maybe they knew he was not 100 percent but decided to forge ahead anyway.This will have no affect on his standing down under as they know what they saw but up here, he has been devalued because of all this and he either has to race again next season which I doubt or they will have to put up with a smaller book of mares and build his reputation the hard way.If I was still in the breeding business I would send mares to him because of his breeding and temperament. He's a beautifully natured stallion and I personally think he will do very well as a stallion.In hindsight, the horse should have come up here two months earlier, they all get sick and this was just a pressure cooker campaign IMO. To race against the best, you cannot obviously afford to be less than 100 percent.These are animals, not fucking machines.
MCWICKED BEST HORSE ON THE PLANET..NOTHIN ELSE TO TALK ABOUT AT THIS MOMENT
