This was heresy. Something not too many smart trainers would admit is that what you do today can cause breakdown tomorrow. This is never presented as a cause and effect situation to owners. It is difficult for trainers to inform an owner that the horse could be incapacitated by trying to get a few more races. But, that is exactly what happens.
Some trainers cleverly wash their hands of the responsibility.
The vet does his part by indulging the trainer and doing what the trainer wants. The vet might caution the trainer that when certain drugs are given, the horse should rest. The reality could be if the medication can't be traced and the horse can move, he will run. This is a great way for everyone involved to avoid responsibility when the inevitable happens. Back to the filly and my predicament.
