You don't mess with the Zoltan

Either somebody really doesn't like Sadler or there is a major disconnect in what constitutes a sound horse.

Overdose, the undefeated sprinter, robbed of his victory in the GI Prix de L'Abbaye, a $3979 lark of a purchase by Hungarian Zoltan Mikoczy at the 2006 Tattersalls December yearling sale, racked up his 11th win.

Hawthorne lost its bid to receive Illinois' 1oth casino license. All the proposals based on the south side lost out to the north siders.

...and the Cubs shall remain title-less despite the North Side bias.

The Sadler link doesn't work for me, but assuming we're talking about Cost of Freedom... based on what I know I'm inclined to side with the vets. If he has a head bob at the trot/jog either he is unsound or he has some conformation issue that most likely predisposes him to unsoundness.

Saying 'That's just how he is' doesn't cut it because the head bob is a red flag that has probably been used for centuries as a sign of lameness or unsoundness. Until they figure out what is going on I'm all for putting the safety of the horse first.
