Just curious TGJB.  Now, since the filly is out, what was going to be your position on RHL?

Ugh, what a bummer..  Scratch wrecks a gorgeous looking betting race.

Couldn\'t rely on her running well, couldn\'t throw her out. I think it\'s a better betting race with her out, clearer lines to draw, less combinations.

sekrah, I know what you mean, but...I\'d rather have them scratch out than risk some atrocious injury on prime-time TV. So do you. PETA would just love a reason to jump all over horse racing again.
