Could the gongshow security barn really lead to a longshot?

Trainers hating it.  Horses certainly out of their normal routine.

Leaving aside all the politics of it, does the fact that it exists and is taking horses out of their normal routines create a bigger chance of a big upset or is it impossible to know which horses it will affect and therefore, as a former Sec Def would say, \"a knowable unknown.\"

Saw hay,oats and water trainer Bill Mott throw a fit when his horse went nuts in the detention barn and finish up the track.

It\'s possibly a negative for every horse, a positive for none. Another dumb move by the Clueless Clowns, who not too long ago abandoned detentions barns as a useless tool in fighting the illegal drug thing.

Maybe workouts would be an even bigger indicator than usual on how horses are handling the new surroundings?

The horses are organizing a football game against the guards.
