You are not the one that pissed me off. Not that you care. :-)
I think you and I agree about the welfare of these animals.
What fired me up is Nick Zito. Look at his record for running horses in the Triple Crown. Compare that with his comments about breeding. If he has such an issue, why does he continue to run these young horses?
Well, if he wants a Triple Crown win, he doesn't have a choice on the age of the horses. And what TB trainer doesn't want a Triple Crown win?
I think it has a lot to do with owners. A lot of owners just have the horses for sport, and they don't know a thing about them. They want the horses running, not sitting in their stall costing money. If the owner wants a horse to run, then the trainer has to run him. Not to say that it's ALL the owner, but I would not blame it all on Zito.
