I agree Mid-bred; If Mulhall's horse was so fast she wouldn't risk it in the claiming race vs. running in a MSW. I thought the producers were playing up the melodrama but that's what they are supposed to do I guess.

I couldn't buy into Mulhall trying to hide Bullybullybully during the morning workouts. The whole time, I was thinking to myself "wouldn't the fact that they're following this horse around with cameras draw attention and defeat the purpose of trying to hide him?"

That's funny, my wife and I had similar reactions. She loved the first season because it focused a lot on inter-personal relationships between the jockeys; especially the Mike Smith and Chantal Sutherland thing. I was kind of bored by all that; I wanted more insight into the actual races and tactics. In episode 1 of season 2 she was bored with the educational stuff about claiming races. The main thing she took away from the recent episode was that Nakatani is a real a-hole who carelessly jeopardizes other riders and the horses. I'm not saying this is a true statement, but that was her general impression.
