Didn't I (and everybody else) learn from Barbaro? I swear I am never watching horse racing again. I will be tempted if a horse has a chance at the Triple Crown, but I'm going to try not to pay attention to it. I know I'm naive, but all these people care about is money. They use excuses like horses need to run. Yes, but not to death. Human athletes die suddenly too. Yes, but our local track had 17 fatal injuries in one season alone. That's just one track out of probably hundreds/thousands. This really really really makes me sick. I'm sure that most owners don't even try to save an injured race horse because the cost is high and their income potential is already lost. I am so sick.

Didn't that legendary horse from at least two movies, Seabiscuit, get severely injured even before all its successes? Guess those trainers can't muster up enough patience to work with recovering horses along with the rest of the animals... Sad.
