It's sad that Barbaro is injured, but it is just a horse.

You are in the wrong forum. Leave.

What exactly do you mean, "just a horse"??!! What's wrong with you?

I love thoroughbreds. It pains me to see them breakdown, but that is part of racing.

I am more concerned with their fate and care after they're retired from racing so I make regular donations here.

I meant exactly what I said. There is nothing wrong with me.

You don't think someone saying they are so physically sickened that they won't be eating tonight is going overboard?

If it wasn't for gambling, there wouldn't be horse racing and horses wouldn't be injured in this manner. I have no personal problem with horse racing, and i could understand the owners, trainer, rider and those close to the horse being phyically sickened, but not many beyond that. It's part of the risks of the sport.

Somehow I bet that statement doesn't go over well on this thread. Would you happen to be a New Mexico priest?

What does that mean? So what? Heartless.
