JB,
Your reaching pal, getting beat up by a horses should be nothing new to you.It\'s silly to think a nasal strip gave CC an inch of ability. The nasal strip, like any equipment change, blinkers, bit,etc etc have moved many horses forward.Why would anyone NOT run with a piece of equipment that move their horse up?
As for your personal experience with a nasal strip, you are still slow and your figs are ground loaded.
