Is there going to be a lot of negative publicity regarding the injury and retirement of Better Talk Now? He is older than Lava Man, at least as high profile and probably higher, especially on a national stage, and has had arguably as prolific a career. Were his owners trying to squeeze the lemon dry with him too? I mean, he hadn't won a race since June of 2007 and was on a 12-race losing streak. If racing is more dangerous for Lava Man because he's nine, wouldn't it be even moreso for 10yo BTN? The worry for people is that Lava Man could POSSIBLY get injured. Well, BTN actually DID get injured. Let's see what kind of negative publicity we get here. I'm guessing there will be none.
