but I do know enough to tell you that unless the horse pulled up fucking lame that race was going to start on time for TV regardless of any linegering suspicion the jockey, trainers, staff etc may have had regarding Barbaro's fitness to run it it.

And, I'm pretty sure that scenario has played out a million times over, if not on national television. Hell, it happens in football. Guys get a painshot and go back in. That's how it works

They killed the fucking horse or, if they didn't, they came damn close
