Re: Kentucky Derby
beady: they don't over train these horses, they are treated like royalty. They get heat wraps on their legs, they get rub downs, and are really catered to. However, it's not that uncommon for one of them to break a leg. Many race with small hairline fractures, and problems breathing. A trainer once said,"It isn't if something is wrong with the horse, it's how bad it is". Most all trainers have a great love for these animals, the few that are bad, probably never get a Derby horse.
