Wow,that's pretty cool,she trained Magic Weisner,2nd place,I'm really surprised-the horse was a 40 to 1 shot,maybe it will be going to the Belmont now.Thanks for the results.
OK now Magic Weisner is in the Belmont,11th pole position,running next to War Emblem at 15-1 odds.This is going to be a major upset-no Triple Crown this year.
The weird thing is, these horses have been optimized. I bet they wouldn't survive long enough if put onto a couple hundred acres of plains with some predators and other dangers to reproduce.
Perhaps they don't even rate too well on Horsey attractiveness... after all, the breeders simply chose the fastest.
Thus, those with the lightest bodies and the most muscle per body weight got to be Race Horses. A short fall will break one of these thing's bones and I doubt one would have the cuning to evade predators in a pack.

And this has what to do with the thread?
They've been trained not to be skeered too easily, and to respond to the rider instantly... but they're way too frail to be war horses!
Too breakable to do any labor.
Too stupid to be in a circus be the Counting Horse.
