how does a horse "break down" --which I assume the chart caller got wrong, but still obviously something happened to him-- and is then allowed to enter (for 3x the claim price no less)? Shouldn't someone (I realize there is no time, money, staff, etc) certify this horse's fitness/soundness before he is even entered, let alone run....

maybe an overzealous chart writer? maybe he was vanned off, or had some other difficulty.
i remember laffits last ride, when that horse did a flip--he got up, shook like a wet dog, and walked off the track.

2 Aluminum Pads ON...
How scary is this horse? 12/27 eased after being only 30 lengths off of a 23 and 4 quarter mile in the mud. So he sauntered through his opening quarter in just under 30 seconds. 1/19 "broke down" after he flew through an opening quarter of 26 and 3, which obviously was too much for this 9YO to endure. Now after a 47 and 4 half mile drill and a BULLET (fastest of 32) 3f blow out in 36 flat he comes back for the trainer who sent him out to a very narrow loss to Lethimthinkhesboss, one of the top choices in today's race. This in no way is an endorsement for him as a win candidate, but stranger things have happened.
