Wow...you really think he won’t triple? Maybe it will make the odds 2-5 rather than 1-5, but on the hoof, how much can it matter?
Don’t know exactly what it is, but these horses get quarter cracks, they don’t win.
Trainers say it’s OK, vets say it’s OK, owners say it’s OK...horses don’t win with quarter cracks.
Maybe this horse is good enough against a weak field, could happen...I’m not going to take 2/5 to see it. I’ll go two-fisted against him.
Shame, because I think the horse is special.
It can matter a lot. The process of repair (nails, sowing it up, etc.) has to be carefully done, or it causes problems of its own, especially on thoroughbreds. It will for sure increase the odds against him from 1-5 to 4-3 or something like that.
