Re: [RC] sick to my stomach - Truman PrevattMy wife told me yesterday that she read an in TB Times (I think she said it was) that the trainer wanted to scratch the filly from the Derby. The owner made the decision she would run over the advice of the trainer. I suspect the trainer thought something was not right before the race began.In any horse sport it's human lust for fame and glory that our horses pay the price for, be it in trying to win the Derby, win a 50 or 100 mile endurance ride, win the Rolex (a horse died at the Rolex last week - he flipped when the caught a leg going up for a jump) or just showing off, No horse sport is free of that. Our horses would just as soon be in the field munching on grass. Truman Nancy Sturm wrote: I was out on a conditioning ride, but my husband watched the Derby. He doesn't ride anymore, but after the filly died, he went out to the barn and groomed Twist and Yrsa, his way of apologizing to at least two horses. -- "Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true."
