I would guess that it was an attempt to get the second gallop piece

[Gigi Gofaster]

I expect there is a rationale here. The horse can't start until middle of next year, being a miler. The injury won't significantly impact its preparation for its race career. Meanwhile, a big part of Billy's gameplay is pinhooking, so trying to find a confirmed second piece is likely worth more than a few weeks off. Once that second piece is found, he can do a timed work so hopefully there won't be any 'dud' works on the horse's sheet (from trying to find a second piece that way), and there's still time for the new buyer to prep the horse for the miler debut races mid season. I expect it's all part of a marketing strategy.

Except horses coming back from injury are 100% unfit so workout time won’t be as fast

Unless he trains the horse again before the work. I was only offering a response to those wondering what the rationale might be for working a horse like this. I’m not condoning or disparaging what Billy did, just someone asked why he worked the horse like this and I’m offering a possible explanation. But it’s really none of my business.
