Nas was "transparent" with respect to his pain and suffering - but I liked 
this.  I didn't call it wimpiness at all, just honesty.  He would continue 
on, but I knew the moment something was wrong.  This enabled me to fix the 
little problem before it became a big one.  More stoic horses don't let you 
know what's wrong and then you don't have little problems, just big ones.
