It would seem that Jimmy Takter has little respect for his horses if he knew Lazarus was not well before the race. If owners tried to pressure him into starting an unfit horse he should have told them to find another trainer.
Lets hope there is no permanent damage to his lungs and he can race a few more times to show his true potential.

I'm no Purdon fan but I doubt he would have let him run until he was fully recovered.
