Did his jock even put the whip to him?? Let me ask you all this. The next race he shows up in ( whatever it might be ) will other trainers back down from him now?? Looking over some of the past great ones, there were alot of times where they faced only 4 or 5 horses. Whose going to step up and take him on now?? Or do you just race for 2nd place money, in a 500,000 or 750,000 race.
