Quinella with longshots at Ballarat tonight
per un PUGNO di DOLLARI
Master Kiesey start 350 today in R1 at Horsham
Nice Quinella to the Kiesey stable!!
Well... despite what everyone thinks.....HE WON at Horsham !
Who Cares !!! its a disgrace that he has been racing so much at his grand age. Needs to be a age limit and start limit on race horses. otherwise harness racing will be the next to be targeted for animal cruelty. Imagine how many miles that poor horses legs have done.
I can understand that reaction Ben but I for one do not know any particulars on Mr K. He may have legs of iron, he may not do anything on the training track when he is raced frequently, he may be a pampered pet when he is not on the track etc etc Any decisions on racing fitness have to be a case by case veterinary decision IMO

I hear where you are coming from Ben, but do you think if the horses legs were that fatigued and if his age was a physical debilitating issue, that that would show in his performances on the track? That doesnt seem to be the case...
Fatigue does not allow a human or an animal to perform a task or a skill at its best.
Fatigue will cause a poor performance and on a racetrack such as the trots, a fatigued horse should run near last every start if it was truly overtrained with its body in a negative state where injuries are rife and crippling.
Master Kiesey seems to be fine and healthy, rather than be fatigued and running last, he won!
He is a true champ thats for sure he tries each and every time like all good horses do. But there does come a time when enough is enough winning or not. Give the poor fella a good retirement as he has well deserved same goes for destreos. they both done more miles than most cars
