What's wrong is that he's a thoroughbred race horse in an era when horses are not trained to be race horses anymore. Not saying that he was undertrained because one thing we know about Baffert is that he trains them hard. But it's my guess that since horses now talk and have Facebook pages and Twitter accounts and all that other nonsense, Bode probably talked to some horses in other barns and found out about the long breaks, the steady stream of breezes and only having to run 4-5 times a year and getting months off at a time.......and said to hell with this. I think he's faking an injury.
