Hey, Pea Brain.
Barbaro and Eight Belles wouldn't have existed at all were it not for Thoroughbred Racing. They led pampered lives for as long as they lived. Other horse died too. I know some of their names, but I'm guessing that you only know about the ones the tear jerk media tells you about. Last night some cattle died for me, and maybe for you too. I killed a mosquito that annoyed me this morning. If you want to weep for her too, maybe I could send you a picture.

Pea Brain for not wanting to watch racing? You’re rather over-the-top vicious. Or Defensive. I didn’t say a word about Thoroughbreds and I don’t think the polo ponies I mentioned were Thoroughbreds, but go ahead and hate me for that too. Maybe you don’t like people with blue eyes or women or owners of foreign cars. More to hate! This IS your day.
I have a love/hate relationship with Thoroughbred racing...I really do love the sport, but have seen way too many former stakes winners showing up at my local horse rescue as cruelty cases. It really is a shame...I hate seeing people not taking responsibility for the animals they own.
